Many local small businesses are setting up home delivery options within their local areas, entrepreneurial spirit is certainly alive and kicking. This company is a bit different as they usually supply trade and I have worked with them before myself. Based in Exeter they deliver across the South West and are offering essential items as well as fruit and veg boxes - this could be a life saver for anyone self isolating that cannot or does not want to go to the shops or if you have relatives you cannot reach. Head to their website J & R Food Service Ltd for more details. ... See MoreSee Less

I think we could all do with a break from the news and a good book is certainly one way to deal with that.Our physical buildings are currently closed but the good news is that our digital book collection is always open.

It’s not an award winning photo but it’s my lifeline - countryside on my family’s farm. I have never been more grateful for this free access. My heart goes out to everyone who can’t get outside like this. I know the type of people who follow my accounts don’t need to be reminded what to do, but maybe some young trendy social media influencers need to be co-opted by the Government to spread the stay indoors message (not the virus). ...

Although I’ll admit to being a bit of a stress-head at times, I’ve never really suffered from anxiety before. But life is very different right now. I went shopping for the first time in a week today and queued outside wearing my disposable gloves and bought food for my parents as I’ve told them not to go out. As we were once told, ‘It’s life Jim but not as we know it’........I hope you are coping ok. .

Stay positive - I’m going to focus on what we can do, not what we can’t. We’re lucky enough to live in the countryside so walks and bike rides are going to feature. If you live near me in East Devon I’ve got lots of walk suggestions on my blog. National Trust and Nature Reserves will be open but do check locally. We need one more bike so I can get out with both my girls so EBay here I come! I’m also going to get my girls circuit training at home with me, plus our little back yard needs some TLC, revamp the tubs and paint an old bench. What are you doing if you are stuck at home? .

Today as I walk the dog I can feel the sun on my back and I am grateful that I live in a rural part of the country and work with a small team with no need to commute. A local coffee morning has been cancelled as have so many events. I have a sense of anxiety for everyone across the country whose livelihoods are going to be so badly affected, from shops, cafes and hotels to office workers and so much more. Let’s agree to support and help each other, not be selfish. We’re only in March and already 2020 is proving to be quite memorable. #worldevent #2020 #newperspective #bettersafethansorry #helpeachother #springflowers #primroses

Looks can be deceiving. From a distance this tree

Looks can be deceiving. From a distance this tree looks like it's already in leaf, but get close up and you'll see that it is actually just covered in ivy, which is probably suffocating the tree. Also it looks like it’s going to be a nice day but apparently more rain is coming! So who or what has deceived you recently?

Yesterday we had sunshine and hail, I’m just happy for a few days without rain. I’m sneaking off for a coffee date this morning. One thing I’ve learnt over the years is that staying friends with someone does take a bit of work and effort, not in a hard way,but like most things in life, if you ignore them for too long they eventually go away. So go on, send a quick message or silly gif to friends you’ve not spoken to for a while. Put a smile on someone’s face. .
