This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.
In light of the uncertainty we all face in the coming weeks, we hope you are all keeping positive and healthy. We wanted to update our lovely A&G community that we are keeping to business as usual still writing posts and keeping in touch with our newsletters.
We are both working from our own homes with lots of immune supporting food and fresh air and enjoying not getting in the car. I hope you are all able to do likewise.
Our online magazine has always been about keeping positive and enjoying our later years however we are aware that now, more than ever, we need even more positivity. Our age group is more susceptible than most to COVID-19 which makes it even more important to keep in touch with friends particularly those that live on their own.
We will continue to bring you relevant posts; things to do whilst you are in isolation, recipes using store cupboard ingredients (wherever possible), wellbeing posts to keep your mind and body healthy and stories from our guest bloggers to keep your spirits high, reviews of books, podcasts and other forms of entertainment that we can still get whilst in isolation.
We will keep our website going even through these difficult times.
This week Grace wrote about Self isolating: How to stay occupied and stave off boredom and she will be giving us more ideas next week. Meanwhile a friend from Italy, Kamin Mohammadi, wrote a heartbreaking Letter from the Italian Lockdown however even with the devastating effects of this virus there was still hope coming from our Italian friends. She said, “We are all the same now. The virus has been a great leveller as well as a great unifier”.
We will come through this but we all need to support each other whatever way we can, from a distance of course. So if you can please share our website with your friends, who might truly enjoy it and benefit from it.
Just send our website details to your friends annabelandgrace.com
Now is the time for all of us to keep connected with all the incredible technology that we have available.
We would like to thank you for your support and loyalty – it means so much to us. We have been touched in our local community how everyone has pulled together so let us in the A&G community keep up the good work and stay strong and well.
