    Only one more weekend left - I can almost taste the Pinot Noir...

    Now all I need is for the lockdown to lift and all will be well. I'm super pleased with the amount raised but if you haven't donated yet - there's still time.

    Happy Halloween everyone!

  • Over half way there! :) But at least two more weeks of home school. :(

    Feels like spring is in the air so that's something to get excited about - school being back is not something to celebrate with the pressures and strains that homeschooling brings - as well as trying to work, but we are staying safe and being creative (photo credit - Ali, 9). With the warmth of spring the temptation of a cold drink at the end of the week (or at the end of a Monday) has been high, but I've kept to the challenge to date. Please help keep my motivation up with some donations - its a great cause and I'm only half way to my target.

    Thanks everyone for your support so far! Its been 10 days - go me! I did miss having a glass of wine on Saturday night after I had had my second covid-19 vaccine so had to do with tea and chocolate instead. One of the helpful thoughts getting me through has been the belief that by November, we would be out of lockdown and I'd be able to share a drink with friends, family and colleagues, but the news this week has made it less clear to me when we will be out of lockdown. I hate to think the effect that this lockdown is having on people suffering from mental health issues, so its wonderful the support you have given through donations. I haven't reached my target yet, so please forward to your contacts! Thanks again. Felicity
