Another train window shot!

Taken on the way over to Metheringham to visit the Folks today. The snow in the village and over the fields does look much prettier than city snow, which soon turns to muddy slush.

The Pandemic has made life much harder for my parents as they can't get out anywhere. There's the safety aspect of course, particularly as the only place they could go is the supermarket which is hard work and my mum could not walk round a store anyway. The days of going to a cafe are over even when they do open again as my Mum struggles to walk more than a few steps now. Estelle next door thinks it is because she has forgotten how to as much as lost the physical ability. She's still surprisingly strong in many ways, as I discovered a few weeks ago when she hit me with a walking stick, hard enough to bruise my legs! I have seen a decline in the health of them both - they may never have caught the virus, but they have still suffered from it.

Today I helped my Dad with paperwork and phone calls - appointments were booked and forms filled in.

The district nurses came to give my Mum her first dose of the Vaccine today. As she cannot go out to have it she had the Oxford one as opposed to the Pfizer one my Dad had, since it is less delicate and can be transported outside of special freezer carriers. Ally and I were banished to the bedroom while that happened and I changed the beds whilst in there.
