It’s March 21 and Spring has officially arrived. What a strange feeling. Nature is beginning to come alive again, leaves are appearing along with blossom on the pear tree.
But we are at the beginning of a huge health crisis. London is quiet as many of the shops are shut or empty and most people are indoors. I have been working from home and today is the first day I have ventured out during the past week. The news has become ever more serious; the numbers of people infected and dying increase each day.
I have to say I’m not sure of the effects of the virus on a person with Parkinson’s. The health authorities say that people with Parkinson’s are in the vulnerable group but, according to them, we should be at no greater risk of actually contracting the virus. We are not included in the list of most at risk. Whatever the case – I imagine no one can really say – it is a time to be careful.
I shall endeavour to write more over the next few days/weeks/months. This is my first post in over three months. It has been a little hectic this winter, and I will have more to say about that in the coming posts. At the moment, this is a ‘hello’ to all my friends. I hadn’t forgotten you.

Hi Jeremy & everyone. Thanks for that. Good to know working is possible for you and yes, time to be careful and we’ll see how things go – I see schools are all closed – they don’t mention universities as such – I suppose they are more flexible – bye for now !
