Hello, everyone!

Sorry there's been no new posts or comments recently, what with the pandemic and everything, it's just been hard to keep abreast of things.

But keep watching, as more stuff is being prepared and on the way.

We're not saying that kids should leave their homes, far from it, in fact!

Rather, what we're trying to convey with this poster is that, in this current time, kids and young people should stay indoors and communicate with their friends via social media. Personally, I'd recommend playing Minecraft on the Xbox while chatting, that way, you're being both social and creative!

I got some positive feedback about posting motivational songs so I figured I'd post another.

We're all living in hard times at the moment; some can't leave their houses, some are short on food, most of us can't do our daily routines and some less then pleasant individuals are taking out their frustrations on our poor Key Workers, either because they consider the Lockdown a manifestation of Orwell's '1984' come to life or because the lack of routine is driving them mad but we must remember, we can get through if we stick it together!

Again, not a genuine Wartime Poster but another one done in the Wartime style with a very important and relevant message.

To round off, in the words of Dad's Army's Lance Corporal Jones,

If you want to combine a steady food supply with your daily exercise plus keep off the boredom, perhaps try doing what folks did during the War and grow your own food!

And before you try to act clever and say "I live in a flat, I haven't got a garden,cleverclogs!" Ask around if any Allotment space happens to be going free, as, as far as our information says, travelling to an Allotment is permitted. If you can't find an Allotment, ever tried a window box? All you need is a plant pot, some soil, a pack of water cress seeds and a little patience..

While we have no physical enemy to face, we are waging a war on Covid-19. Whilst our NHS fights to control it, there is something we Civilians can do;

Stay in Our Homes, unless on Supply Runs, exercising or in transit between Home and Work
Do not Panic Buy
Wash your hands
and keep cheery
