Despair

I’m feeling an overriding feeling of despair this morning. For the way things are going in our country, for our freedom and the health and wellbeing of our children; to name but a few.

Woken up this morning to the news that our government are about to impose even more draconian measures on us – gyms, restaurants – basically everything. A letter from the school acknowledging they have no hope of providing a decent education to our teenagers – this requires a conversation with the teenager – how can he best come out of this ? He’s a strong minded kid – but he needs direction!!

The 21 year old in Nottingham with the bare bones of a University education ongoing – stuck there with no friends and no life. At least he’s not got to worry about not having a job – perhaps he’s in the best place?

It’s making me feel quite anxious and even angry. And I’m retired – my life is relatively easy.

I feel we’re in for a winter of extreme discontent and rebellion. Oh dear.
