Hi ,

Just an update , not managed to get anywhere online or on phone , local charity managed to get me some essentials of which I’m very grateful , said would call me a week , unless I was desperate for anything .

I pay the charity through my online bank transfer . Hope this helps someone else living alone and having to shield .

Contact your local council if all else fails .

Yes all local councils are now providing links to local shops. Our village pub is now a very good pop up shop. Best wishes Kevin

Good to hear Willow. Hope you have got more of what you need? My town is swamped with volunteers and businesses altering the way they work ie delivering meals or just fresh and more particular produce. I did hope you would find that too, but seems it'snot such a big thing where you are, sorry to hear that. Anyway, hope you are OK for now and will get more shopping again next week. not sure how old you are but Age UK are helping my brother who is 60 and has Parkinsons. All the best and keep us updated if you need any further support. x

Fantastic. Aren't people wonderful! I am so grateful to my friend -and so lucky as I only moved here nearly 5 mths ago and my bestie who lives here anyway is in Oz seeing her parents and kinda stuck. We'll get through this, however long it takes. And thank goodness it's good weather...I get a bit down in the autumn and winter (like lots of us) and,whilst the summer has it's drawbacks ie the heat isn't exactly our friend, the brighter weather and birds and flowers etc really help. And, of course, this site and all the lovely people! Hope you are doing Ok. x
