Thank you to everyone who took part, it was great to see so many beautiful pictures
Allow ourselves a moment to acknowledge the sadness and pain this year has brought us all.
After a year of lockdown, as we follow the road map to open up again and reconnect together, there will be lessons we have learnt. There are things we have missed. Like children, we will take hold of those things again with wide eyed wonder. As we seek to find purpose in the events of this last year we can remember how thankful we are for each other and for our community. Why not take a moment to thank an individual, a group, organisation or business who have helped you in this last year?
