Emerging from Covid-19 Rahui…

We are very glad to be now in Level 2 of the Rahui.  We were in Level 4 (total lockdown) for 5 weeks from 26 March, then in Level 3 for 2 weeks from 28 April to 14 May.  Now, in Level 2, we are able to socialise more freely (in small numbers, and keeping […]

Highlights during the Rahui for us…

Being in lockdown has had lots of positives for us…in our privileged situation.

My computer crashed, and it took a week to get it to our Earthsong expert Grant, who fixed it […]
