What a time we are in, what time of uncertainty, sadness and, panic. In times like this, we must think of others and not just ourselves. We really need to stop gathering with people, STAY HOME it will all be a distant memory before we know it. It’s not going to be easy, but everybody’s health is paramount. After tonight, all pubs, cafe’s and restaurants will be closed
This week a group of or neighbours contacted each other and printed off a letter with hearts to deliver to all the residents in our street; we have 101 houses! Lots of printing going on. In the letter, we have given 4 numbers to contact and link to a Whatsapp group we have created in the order we can help out our neighbours should the need arise. There are two hearts to put in their window, one green and one red. The green says you’re ok and the red says you need assistance, so we can see from a distance people need help. It has been extremely productive and I would urge you to do the same. If you want the template, just email me christine@themaindeal.co.uk – If you could do this on your road, street, drive, it might give people some hope that they can call on someone should they need help. If we all do a little bit, it goes a long way.
In order to help our local businesses this week, we have put together a great big list of businesses, locally you can phone, order, collect, deliver or order online. This list will keep growing as I’m hoping more of our foodies can be encouraged to follow suit. I am encouraging businesses to still try and do their thing, but differently.
Here is the list,and you can now also view it on our website https://www.themaindeal.co.uk/directory/local-delivering-locally/

Over the course of the next few days/weeks, we may be able to add to our list as we see more shops deliver locally, we will keep updating as we go along.
In the next week or so you will also see activity classes being run online and on facebook with some of our great and well known, PT’s, Exercise and Children classes – keep following and we will share them all – keeping fit at home
Over the next few weeks, as we’re at home, there won’t be as much going on, as usual, however, I will still share all the important and relevant information so you can hear about it too. Sharing knowledge is the most helpful you can be, but not the Gossip
Stay Safe the good Garfonian, and remember to keep the locals in business by ordering, as above. Some of the supermarkets are up by 15% in profit, it would be nice for our independents to do the same in these uncertain times
Until next week
