Getting back to ‘normal’
Amanda Williams
Hands up who’s use the words ‘unprecedented’ and ‘new normal’ an awful lot recently. Who knew that 2020 would pan out in quite the devastating way it has. There’s an old Jewish joke which goes ‘Want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans’. Yes……quite.
What’s next?
As we slowly start to get up to speed again and rebuild what we once took for granted, perhaps we can reflect on what is important for us and our great little city.
Here are a few of my reflections, I’m sure you’ll have your own.
Slowing down has been good
Watching nature has been restful
Supporting local businesses is more important than ever
Appreciating our key workers like never before
Drinks with friends aren’t the same over Zoom
I hope all of our ‘new normals’ can include supporting businesses like those in Truro Farmers Market (back today - yay!). Lots of businesses in our city are online, so if you’re not comfortable with popping into the city, you can support them from afar.
