After a little break from writing on this blog, not least because I was completing my Masters during the global pandemic (ever the wise decision maker), I’ve got some inspiration again!

Keep your distance, please.
Wrote this little piece back in May time, when the global pandemic had essentially shut down the world. After a few months in isolation, these were my thoughts on the whole thing. Right now it seems like a lifetime ago, but in reality not much has changed. Corona Virus is very much still an issue,…
