Covid 3. Keeping in Contact

We were all warned that even though we were isolating we should keep in contact. So very quickly we got up to speed with zoom. Claudia had "lessons" with grandma.

All her  pictures and writing carefully colour co-ordinated! - and quite a bit of pink used.

Sometimes Alice Mod, Barbie and Ken had to be dragged out of the suitcase (they are Jill's old dolls) to take part too.

Once school holidays started Theo joined us for a lesson too. After lessons a lesson on pixels, he made a lego copy of this minecraft sword.

The "girls" all kept in touch, some on a  messenger group or on facebook. There was a flurry of texts to start with, but it soon dropped away as less and less happened in our lives. We tried a group messenger video session, and tried a zoom session, but some of their equipment made this very hard.

I tried to phone people who I knew might be alone and would like a natter, so haven't felt particularly isolated myself.
We had two "All family" Zooms, with Millie joining us from Carrington Hall where she did her lockdown, Alex with his specially crafted computer equipment, and Theo on a computer, and Simon and Claudia on the other. Lots of fun - but not like being there in the flesh!!
