Blue Skies Have Never Been So Blue

Abstract

This was written in Lincolnshire, England in April 2020.

“I sit in my garden I look up there is a clean smell in the air and the skies have never been so blue. My house has become a haven to feel safe and a place to create.” We have more time on our hands and literally want to use them more. We suddenly have an urge to make our food from scratch and we take up knitting. Like never before we learn a new skill and we surprise ourselves! The world has changed dramatically and so have our daily lives.
