We made, we got to the big 100. Never did I imagine that life would still feel so strange after 100 days but here we are. Saturday day time is a bit of a blur but I remember that Mum and I started the day off right with a full-body yoga flow. I also did a lot of painting and…

Dear Isolation #98 & #99
Do I get to throw a party when I get to 100 blogs? (with only 6 people at a safe distance). Thursday started very early as we decided to go on a walk before the heat became too much to handle. The three gals ventured into the shady woods but still worked up a sweat climbing up the hill. We…
Dear Isolation #95, #96 & #97
Monday was very… mondayish as a whole. Amy had the mission of unpacking or at least storing all of the stuff she brought back from her uni room. She’s (hopefully) moving into her new house in July so doesn’t want to unpack too much as she’ll be hauling it back up north before we know it. I met my pal…
Dear Isolation #92, #93 & #94
What happened Thursday during the day has now become a bit of a blur, this is what happens when I end up with a three day blog (should have learnt by now!). I’m sure it involved sewing and/or paint by numbers. In the evening we had the weekly family quiz, this week hosted by Annie and Tom or should I…
Dear Isolation #90 & #91
We’re nearly at 100, how did we get here? Your guess is as good as mine. We were really having to think hard to remember what we did on Tuesday but we were triggered by Amy complaining about the bite on her hand. This reminded us of the traumatic walk that her and mum had endured involving a big dog…
Dear Isolation #88 & #89
It’s been a pretty slow and chilled couple of days but the added addition of sunshine made everything that bit better. Despite having just done a workout, Amy persuaded Mum to take the walk into town on Sunday. They went early to avoid the heat of the day but still came back looking a bit puffed out and in need…
Dear Isolation #86 & #87
This blog was always intended to try and document the moments of positivity and laughter in these very weird and often disheartening times and that is still what we intend to do. However, it feels unjust to not touch upon the shared sense of heartache we’ve felt for our country at the moment. We have been shocked and astounded at…
Dear Isolation #84 & #85
I am back on the blogging, muchos gracias to the mother for standing in while my brain was elsewhere. There was an early wake up on Wednesday (for some!) as the long awaited new sofas arrived. My attempts to encourage a rethink in home decor were ignored and they ordered the same sofas but in a different colour – revolutionary.…
Dear Isolation #81, #82 & #83
Written by Mother Raynor. I’ve done a deal – Megan and Amy are cooking dinner and I’m writing the blog, no complaints from me. All the days seem to be merging into one and we are all struggling to remember what we’ve done over the last few days! Maybe we’ve just got into a rhythm and when we don’t do…
Dear Isolation #80
Gonna start the blog in the most British way by commenting on the weather but we just couldn’t keep up with it yesterday. We had beautiful sunshine, hail, thunder, lightning, blustery winds; none of which lasted longer than about 10 minutes. We decided that we needed a bit of a pamper, a bit of TLC and proposed that we were…
