What’s the latest?

The nightmare that is Coronavirus…

There is no doubt that this global pandemic is affecting everyones lives, most importantly our health but also work and the ability to socialise with friends and loved ones. To all those who have already been effected I want to wish you the very best and and hope that eventually everything will be ok once  again for you.

For myself and projects this year, much has been cancelled or postponed and it’s unclear when i’ll be able to continue as normal (as I’m sure is the case for many of you). The biggest event still hanging in the balance is of course the Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo at the end of summer. Though the host nation are remaining bullish, the reality is that many of the participating nations and business supporting the event will need to make a decision sooner rather than later…

The airshows being large spectator events ‘Mass gatherings’ they too stand to be put off until next year.

On a brighter note the shop here is still open as usual with extra precautions being taken to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of all items dispatched. I may even be cheeky and say that if you do find yourself self isolating with lots of time on your hands then do please browse through my lovely items and shop away!

This will be a life event for all of us, but we can draw positives from even the darkest times. Already within our communities and via the media we are seeing and hearing stories of people going above and beyond to help others and support one another. With mental health being such an important issue today, combined with the reality many of us face in isolation and solitude we must all try to think beyond what we normally would and be selfless.

Let’s pull together and come through this unified.

I wish everyone the very best, and look forward to posting more positive update once this has blown over.
