Closing out and shutting down 2020.

Once again we headed out of town for Christmas and New Year. In these parts our main holidays happens over this time. With the weird year we had, it was the first time we were taking leave and it was required, we were tired. We knew we had limited time because we had to get Corks back to the city to start her first new job. She finished her Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree and has officially joined the workforce.

I was glad to be heading out of the city because things were hotting up here with Covid and our new variant. It was super stressful and I wanted to hide away a bit and find calm away from the mayhem of living in a hotspot. What we didn’t know was that at that stage, we already had Covid and arrived on holiday feeling poorly. Although it was a tough few weeks, I also know we had it mildly. We kept it pretty private on social media. I needed a moment and I’m grateful that I took it. Thank you for understanding and giving us the time to nurse ourselves back to health and thank you to those who reached out and held our hands ‘virtually’ through it. I am so grateful that we could recover at home and that we came through and that we got to do that together, quietly and privately.

As for our holiday… well, we slept through most of it and we quarantined ourselves. We did manage a walk and a swim on one of the days. We were blessed with a clear and open beach and the most beautiful sunset we could have asked for and that will have to do for now.

My heart and love goes out to all those who have been touched by Covid and deeply hurt by it. Please be safe, stay safe and look after each other and it’s my hope that things will start to improve with the promise and hope of this new year.
