Another kind of normal…
So it’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow since we started our family lockdown. Edith’s school wrapped up on Wednesday 18th March and she didn’t attend that day due to waking at 4am and my nerves being shot to pieces. I am still struggling to get my head around this whole thing to be honest, I mean... [...]

Life goes on…
Sorry, it's been a while since my last post. Edith was discharged from hospital on 18th April after 9 days.
