The last thing you want to be without in a rural household
is a kettle. If the heat fails, then at least you’ve got a quick source of
warmth for comfort, soups, teas and hot chocolate. You’re also going to need a
boost for those early starts, especially in the winter months. Ironically, the
address isn’t as rural as I thought. There’s plenty of neighbouring houses if
you need a hand, though in these times it’s not such a good idea to share. But
there’s still a community atmosphere and people have set up small stations on
their driveways to share baked goods and to observe a big clap for the National
Health Service. I pull the van over to join in, though I’m not seen in greater
esteem here even though I’m an essential worker. Still, I recognise the fact that
I’m still allowed to be in full-time employment while others are struggling and
are forced to shelter.
