I took Mum for a spin today around St Andrews park in her chair, which she enjoyed very much. A good number of people there, almost all well-behaved. Except, again, for joggers. Two solo joggers doing circuits around the park, so intent on their course that they took little notice of others. I saw one run between two mums pushing prams and carefully keeping two metres apart: so he passed within a metre of each of them and their babies. Each of the joggers passed within a metre of Mum and me: both wearing headphones, so I was obliged to shout at them. One of them passed us later, leaving a proper distance and raising a hand to us. At least she got the message: I hope she keeps it in mind.

Most of our local food shops are open and well supported. This article mentions many Bristol businesses which can deliver food and other goods. Independent bookshop Topping in Bath is able to send out books as is our local Max Minerva. Give your money to independents and not Amazon ! Online but off the beaten track: small suppliers who deliver so much more https://www.theguardian.com/money/2020/mar/29/online-but-off-the-beaten-track-small-suppliers-who-deliver-so-much-more?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

With Bristol’s schools closed for the foreseeable future, the city’s most vulnerable children and families look to be relying on the goodwill of local organisations, the public and contractors for a while yet.

Please use the local independent food shops rather than the big supermarkets. Use them or loose them. https://t.co/XjbH1NKegc
