Castle Howard 16th March 2020
This image of Castle Howard was taken almost exactly four years ago and it looks full of the promise of Spring. However looking at the image its hard not to feel the poignancy of the date. I think as we wandered round the grounds that morning we knew Covid was coming but we probably had no idea how awful the next be months would be. The first UK Lockdown came into force about a week later.. I remember we had coffee and a cake at the cafe at Castle Howard. It would be the last time we ate out for many months .
We of course got off lightly, yes our life was turned upside down, so many things one took for granted had to be abandoned but we were not struck by the virus . Unlike millions across the world who died or became seriously ill and the many people who lost their livelihoods . Such a strange sad time.
I think the book the captures the time best is “ Lucy by the Sea “ by the brilliant American novelist Elizabeth Strout. It certainly not a book just about Covid but it captures the period better than anything else I have read
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
