I’m desperate to be out of lockdown but when we went in mid March we had 350 deaths per day. Today we have 377. Serious question. What am I missing? It can’t be safe, can it?

Just to also say that for many years Timpsons have provided free holidays for foster carers, prisoner training and employment, education and lots of other charitable stuff. Quietly doing great work not just in this crisis.

The furlough top up for our colleagues to 100% of pay costs us £500,000 a week, not £500,000 a month as it says in today’s Sunday Times. It’s worth every penny to help our colleagues and their families through some tough weeks.

But a complete blind spot when it came to Travellers. I’ve since found this attitude quite common in rural/small town England. Even as a black woman this level of racism was strange as no one made any attempt to hide it or feel shame. (5)

13th June 2013 - wrote this to my friend ‘So depressed about my writing having just had a resounding no - again. Having to actually digest the fact that I'm not good enough.’ Just saying. Do not give up, people.
