5 July 2020 - Masks and Missing Moments
Hello everyone,
Recently I mentioned that under the new Government rules facemasks have to be worn by travellers on public transport and preferably when we are in other enclosed spaces where social distancing is not possible and where we will come into contact with people we do not normally meet, for instance in shops. Well, a group of local ladies have sewn some very attractive face masks, in a variety of colours and different designs, which will shortly be available in the telephone box. If you would like one they are free but it is hoped you might leave a donation in the collection pot in the phone box. The money raised will go to the Lantern Centre. So stay safe and help a local charity into the bargain. Personally I’m hoping there’s a mask in the colours of the Welsh rugby team, so I can be safe and supportive at the same time. I don’t know who the local ladies are, but I will try and find out, because they deserve our thanks for their efforts.
Last Friday would normally have seen one of our monthly get togethers at the coffee morning in the Mission Hall. This is the fourth such event that has been cancelled – it seems like more - and I really do miss them. It was always a real pleasure to be able to exchange news and views with a wide range of friends over a cup of very weak of tea – my choice – and a piece of delicious homemade cake. But in the context of the much larger picture of tragedy and disaster, really only a small loss.
Stay safe
Best regards
Chris
