As I’m sure you’re all aware, the UK has now entered into lock down. For the past week or so I’ve only been leaving the house to walk the dog/jog or visit the supermarket. It feels so strange to go from feeling like I never have any free time to having all the free time in the world!
I’ve been trying to be positive about staying indoors – I’m seeing it as an opportunity to catch up on sleep, read, bake and work on my blog. I also feel incredibly grateful that I have everything I need to isolate comfortably (including my family, who I don’t spend enough time with usually due to our work schedules).
For today’s post I thought I’d list some ideas of what to do during this time of isolation. Hopefully, things will be back to normal before we know it!
