It has been interesting seeing more people again and hearing
how they have been coping with lockdowns and major changes to their lives.
As someone who has done a 20-year apprenticeship working
from home in preparation for Covid19, I have been affected far less than most.
In the months between the cricket season, I am often isolated, and generally,
that’s the way I like it.
I walk with my dog to places where I am unlikely to see too ...

I hope what I am about to write makes sense.
