It’s okay to feel how you’re feeling right now. If you’re feeling worried, sad, frustrated or anything else about being in another lockdown, they’re all normal emotional responses to what’s happening. Be gentle with yourself. Text YM to 85258 for free mental health support.

Ice decorations! ❄️❄️❄️
Arrange leaves and berries in a dish along with a piece of string. Add water and overnight it will freeze, creating beautiful - but temporary decorations!
