So here we are in May and our province is still doing social distancing but we've had some success in flattening the curve of Covid-19. This coming weekend some things will return to semi-normal. British Columbia has laid out a series of steps to start slowly reopening some services here.The goal is to keep cases low while gradually opening up a few businesses and activities. As of this weekend we will be able to "double our bubble"--in other words we can include a couple more family members or close friends in our lives. What a difference this will make.
Harry's son Ben and his fiancee and my sister will welcome being included in our bubble. We miss them so much.
The weather last weekend was stellar and I was able to meet with some friends at Beacon Hill Park in the warmth of a sunny Sunday afternoon. We took our lawn chairs and sat six feet apart and chatted for the first time since early March. What a treat. And how it underscored the realization that our social connections are what makes life worth living.
Over the next few weeks we're hoping that things will open up a bit more. We have a lovely back yard with lots of fresh air and a beautiful fountain--and room for social distancing. We just picked up a case of wine and would welcome you to come for a socially distanced visit. It's been a long time.
Some colour for you.
