Better now!

About 3 weeks ago, I developed a cough, a temperature and lost my sense of smell. I had trouble breathing and I felt so ill I had to stay in bed, which is extraordinary for me. This enforced period of isolation has given me an opportunity to reflect on life, work and the choices I have made. I have always known that I am incredibly lucky but I am even more aware of the importance of good health, shelter and support now and so deeply grateful that I have all of these. When we get through this and we will, both as a nation and a global community, I hope we will all have reconnected with what is important in life, realise and appreciate that most of us are decent human beings and that as we move forward with our lives, we become a kinder, humbler, more tolerant and mutually supportive race.
