February bought a lot of snow and general unease as we approached March, the month that marks one year of various stages of lockdown life. It’s somewhat obvious to say that every single one of us has felt the strain on our mental health somehow. Some more than others, but a year of not seeing our loved ones, feeling their warm embrace…

With everything that is going on in the world right now, it’s hard to believe that we’ve only been officially in the winter season for a few weeks. Autumn was a season of two halves, the first being generally quite normal, well whatever that means right now, and then the second half was spent in a month-long lockdown.
