Most peoples experiences of London are packed tube trains, busy shops, bright lights and crowds of people. Mine always seem to be very different and I often feel like I am living in a Charles Dickens story.

Coronavirus Diary 72: Being a Good Samaritan to the living and having a hot drink with the dead.
One of the things I really miss about being Excluded and not able to work as well as Shielding alone is being able to help people. I really really miss it.
