What a week it has been!
The Corona virus still has
a hold over the world and every death is one to many, but although things are
looking to be heading in the right direction here in the UK, I can’t see a return to ‘normal’ life coming
anytime soon.
As I have for the previous
4 weeks, I was out at the end of my driveway on Thursday at 8pm, clapping in
support for those on the front line of our NHS, but this week there was also a very
special birthday to celebrate too.
War veteran Captain Tom
Moore, captured the hearts of the nation when he set out to raise one thousand
pounds for the NHS by walking 100 circuits of his garden celebrated his 100th birthday yesterday.
To make his
day an extra special one, not only did he receive a special card from the
Queen and around 135,000 from the general public, he was made an honorary colonel and given a replacement World
War Two Defence Medal .
And as if that wasn't enough, he is now in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the oldest person to have a No, single, "You'll Never Walk Alone", sung with Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care choir.
But
above all of that, his effort to raise £1,000 has exceeded all his expectations
and the total broke the £31 million mark yesterday and is still
climbing.
Such an
inspirational man, who could teach us all a thing or two don’t you think?
Happy 100th
Birthday Coronal Tom
So, now onto what I’ve
been up to this week. My sewing machine
and crochet hook has been flying again while I've been in lockdown.
29 Toiletry & 8 Scrubs Bags that are heading to St. Margaret's Hospital, Epping.
20 Crocheted Hearts
And these 28 hearts were made last week.
&
Happy
Crafting!
(Whatever
you passion may be)
