Possible controversial thought - I think I’m going to miss lockdown in a lot of ways if it ever goes. The countryside is quiet for once, it’s taking a breath. 
 

Roads are quiet, animals are out, it’s peaceful and quiet in the fields.

I had similar thoughts the other day. I think a lot of people will miss certain things & opportunities to do stuff they didn’t have before. Family units could be make or break! It’s been a bit of a plus for our family on the whole so far.......apart from cancelling our holiday, but they’ll be others.....

No different for me really as I work on my own most days with just the dogs for company. I’ve got less work on but that means the days I’m not working I spend up my lock up doing knives

My misses is flat out at work so I am at home with the 3 kids which I don’t usually mind but it’s hard work as we are not able to get out and break the day up. I am really enjoying the evenings though I think it’s been real quality time as we take the dogs out as a family unit for a hour and a half to 2 hours the route takes. The kids are learning a bit about nature and seeing stuff they probably wouldn’t usually get to see so much.
