It’s only human to sometimes feel a sense of loss over the could or should-have-beens, but so many positives have woven themselves through these challenging times.

Like a rambling rose with thorns, we still see the beauty of the rose and so it is as life continues beside covid.

In our city new faces now understand how vital green spaces are, truly the lungs, that belong to us all.

The importance of access to outside space has never been clearer and the need for kindness, community and sharing so well understood.

The rainbows still brightening windows and empty racks where there would have been seed at garden centres, remind us how things have been different and at times devastating but they also remind us how a love for nature, the outdoors and the wild has been truly reignited.
