Online Edition of Fa mily Life Guide Life has changed rather a lot since March and I’m always inspired and in awe of the fabulous local businesses, who make up a very important part of our community, by the way they have adapted and changed to outside influences. COVID has made a huge impact on both family life and the way businesses operate. In this special online edition you will discover what businesses have done to adapt to the Government guidelines by reading their Spotlights to keep your family entertained, active and safe.
To all those mums and dads who are either jointingly, or single handedly, home schooling as well as trying to work, run the house, source food and keep some level of normality can I just say - you are all hero’s, we choose to home school or send our children to school for a reason. Workers have been expected to home school whilst trying to work which is extremely hard, so for all of you that are juggling home/work/education you are AWESOME. Win Family Tickets to Bocketts Farm Park! Please see page 3 and enter to win tickets to the award winning Bocketts Farm Park. Final check the website or Facebook for updates in this ever changing climate. Keep safe this summer and wash those hands!
