A selection of images that conjure up the highs and lows of the last few weeks spent at home with my family... 'What's for Pudding' seems to be on everyone's mind daily! Most definitely one of the more enjoyable aspects of spending more time at home. I included 'Rita' and 'Pet Rabbits' as our pets have been a big focus.We have been lucky enough, so far, not to have had to isolate from each other, but 'The Segregation Cell' is an image many families will be able to relate to. Finally, gardening and the wildlife around me has kept me sane...
