Pulling Together

For obvious reasons the content of the reportage from the village will take a different tack.

 

Here in the village plans were being drawn up in an attempt to get us through the coming weeks. 📖

 

Who would lead us through this period of time where we would have to adapt and look out for each other, one name stood out above all others, yes Mrs Dorothy Trethewey who as you know is the President of the runner bean growing society, it was felt that no one could obtain a greater accolade than that of President. Also she would be able to pass on her experiences and wisdom when she was a child during world war 2.👵

 

Dorothy is well aware, like so many other places in this country and the world that we have always had a tremendous community spirit here in the village.

She also felt that communication would be vital in this situation we all face.

Hoof and Horace were tasked with making sure that the elderly and vulnerable were up to speed with communicating via modern technology, leaflets were printed and dropped through peoples letter boxes with various contact details and offers of help in so many ways.📡📝

 

A list of people were compiled by Dorothy of persons that should be contacted daily. These persons were allocated to various members of the village in order to carry out this task on a rota basis so that people on their own had a different person speaking to them during each phone call.☎️

 

However, we are aware challenging times lay ahead, so we must all pull together, do not panic, adapt and look out for each other.

Dorothy made it clear that even during the war humour was such a tonic and so good for the soul, therefore we must never lose sight of the simple things in life.😁😂

 

Hoof and Horace have suspended flights into space and grounded their Typhoon, Horace got out the relevant instruction manual of how to mothball it, which included jacking it up, taking the wheels off and carefully lowering onto blocks, “yes Horace carefully” also putting the air intake covers onto the jet engines so as mice from the barn could not climb up and sleep in them and subsequently have a rude awakening when it is restarted one day.🐎🐷🚀🐭🐭

 

All provisions were removed from the on board tuck shop (do you all remember them from your school days, in my case a very long time ago).

Plus the drinks cabinet had to be emptied, you know the one where the boys sit when they are driving the Typhoon during their space travels.🚀🍫🍪🍩🍺🍺🍷🍷

 

I will leave you all with this thought,

Laughing is one of the best exercises, it’s like running inside your mind.

You can do it almost anywhere and it’s even better with a friend.

 

Thank you so much for looking at my photos, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

Take care, improvise and stay safe.
