There is some light around the corner!. The good news is that cases in Hadlow/East Peckham/Golden Green are falling. Having risen from 5 to over 50 in the second half of last year, new cases in the last seven days are down to 13. I suspect Boris is this time going to be more over cautious about letting us out but things will get better from here. So maybe we will be able to hold a fete this summer ….
Meanwhile the days are getting longer. Sunset today is a whole hour later than it was in December. What we need now of course is for the footpaths to dry out! Keep safe everybody.
