Glad for your family, gg, but sad for yours, Tracey G, hope your Dad is OK. My Mum's home have set up an indoor visiting booth and I tried it out this morning. It did feel a little more normal. It was nice for me to get to sit down in the warm rather than stand outside by a window! Though of course we're still separated by a window, I perferred it to using phones. I had to wear a mask which Mum didn't really like. It also gave me a chance to have a look into some some of the rooms through the windows as I walked around to the door at the back, which looked cosy. They're already decorating for Christmas! |
