Hello, my dear friends. Thanks for stopping by to have a little look at my blog. I know that many of you who read the blog aren\u2019t on social media, so I want to do my best to keep up with you here. Maybe during these times of social distancing, you may decide you\u2019d like to join twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you do feel free to look me up for more regular updates. My details are at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

My nearest and dearest know that I\u2019m a bit of a glass half full kinda gal. Perhaps you\u2019ve even picked up on that? Even in the most terrible of circumstances I automatically kick into \u2018solutionist\u2019 mode. I don\u2019t even know if that\u2019s a word, but I think it describes my attitude when met with problems. Of course, I can get overwhelmed sometimes too but my general default is to find silver linings in situations even when they appear to be hopeless.<\/p>\n

I would like to say thank you to all of you who continue to support QVC whilst we do our best to support you, too. There are a huge number of people who deserve gratitude right now. Obviously, the NHS staff, the emergency services, delivery drivers, local superstars looking after their communities, those working in refuse collection, supermarkets and so on, and so on. You who ensure the smooth running of the country on so many levels, thank you. So many unseen and unsung heroes keeping calm and carrying on.<\/p>\n

Now onto the silver linings. I\u2019m at home now with my two children. I\u2019m so happy the three of us are together. My daughter should be at university, but they\u2019ve had to close indefinitely. We have played games, had deep conversations, watched funny TV programmes together and my daughter and I even had a workout together as you can see!<\/p>\n
