Because of the new isolation requirements I am reposting this picture of my wonderful Grandchildren who I will not be able to cuddle for months - there was a tearful moment this moment as the realisation of this hit me hard :-

When I was 7, my mother was in hospital for the best part of a year. My sister was 5. We were not allowed to be in physical contact during that time, but once every week or two we were taken, by car, to the hospital grounds, where we could see and wave to her as she stood on a first floor balcony. I do wonder how this has affected us both over the years since. I am particularly reminded of this after we decided to isolate ourselves last night, and I had to tell my Granddaughter's parents that we would not be able to look after her for the foreseeable. Apparently she was in floods of tears last night even though I had talked to her about the possibility, and the reasons, and we had had a big gorgeous cuddle. I woke up this morning to such a different world - no more kiddy cuddles - thank heavens Peter and I have each other to go through this with.
