Conversations with Aldershot

55 54 Just that I think it has done me personally a world of good i was so focused on earning money and buying my children clothes, days out etc. This lockdown taught me that actually my kids don’t care about any of that they just enjoy being around me and doing things together. Be it baking, arts and crafts etc. They genuinely don’t care for expensive clothes and shoes and days out they are hapy to beat home cuddled on the sofa watching movies or walking in the woods. Chloe, 2020 We’re lucky we’re a very compatible family. If felt like an extended summer holiday even though I was working. The weather made the difference. The garden umbrella up. We bought a 10” pool. Sunshine. Happiness. Quite roads. Local shop shopping only. Just us. No visitors. Neighbours were safe. Set up a local prescription delivery service to help Rushmoor Voluntary services. Felt like I was contributing. I enjoyed the relaxation of the first lockdown. Anon, 2020 Online survey, 2020/ 2021
