Just like that we are at Alert Level 2 and some normality has returned.
The sun shone and we all descended on our various shopping centres to do what we haven’t done for seven weeks – shop! We all supported our local businesses and that is now what we have to do.
We are so lucky to have so many local and innovative businesses operating in our area.
The Times office has now opened for business with social distancing rules in place.
Thanks again to so many of you who made contact with us with your appreciation at the return of the printed issue in the letterbox.
Here are just a few of your comments:
