TO OUR MAY 2020 ‘LOCKDOWN’ EDITION

tep away from the news! Spend a few minutes instead with your favourite local Konect columns in this Lockdown Edition. We’re always about producing positive stories and angles, because there is quite enough negativity elsewhere - that’s easy to find. That doesn’t mean ignoring the real difficulties people experience; it means celebrating individuals and organisations who are working to help people, overcome challenges and find solutions and tools for getting through whatever it is. In times like this, it also means celebrating the “normal” wherever it can be found lurking. Our contributors have outdone themselves, bringing their thoughts, experiences and expertise to you for this Lockdown Edition of Konect. Instead of our eight usual separate editions, we’ve brought them all together into this one publication so you may discover columnists you’ve not met before from other editions of Konect and the Dell Directory. I hope you are managing to stay safe and sane. As ever, please support local businesses where you can for essentials and activities that you can legally and safely carry out. Thanks for reading. As ever, drop me a line and let me know what you think. u can know yo Did you to receive each e subscribissue of Konect e here new Subscrib online? bscribe scot/su konect.
