J for a Joyous Time & Jabs: A-Z Scottish Borders in Lockdown

 A-Z Blogging Challenge 2021   - Scottish Borders in Lockdown

Recording My Everyday Life - A Picture for Future Generations
 

A JOYOUS TIME - Last year April 2020, daughter came round on Easter Sunday  to leave  a picnic bag and when we opened it there were fresh sandwiches (butcher’s ham & egg & tomato), homemade sausage rolls, homemade fruit scones with homemade, jam, homemade  banoffee pie, and chocolate nests with mini Easter eggs (made by granddaughter)   and chocolate tiffin  -  plus  a bottle of red grape juice which we like.  What a feast!

 It was such a delightful, thoughtful, original Easter  gift, a total surprise  & I was very touched, - but how I missed giving her a  hug!

Of course we could not help wondering what she might do this Easter - and yes,   we did get a visit with three trays of goodies, plus a bottle of blackberry & elderflower juice.  This time I did give her a hug - after all we are coming out of Lockdown and we are in her Bubble!

JABS - We had our second Jab last week administered by our local health centre in the local church hall in a first class, smooth, no waiting around  procedure.  The atmosphere was almost celebratory  - everyone was so cheerful and friendly, people glad to be out  with a chance to meet friends, and chat;  helped by the fact it was a most beautiful spring day with sun shining and blue skies ahead. All of sudden life seemed much more positive.

  1. Yes, Jab is the watchword this year -- and happily so! Congrats on getting yours. I was grateful to be a genealogy blogger in January when I had to go online at all hours trying to book my first/second jabs. My experience doing online research genealogy research proved invaluable -- and I was all done by March 1. Oh joy! https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/junior-prom-my-awkward-first-date-atozchallenge/
