Week #9 of the Coronavirus Lockdown, and the ‘novelty’ is wearing a bit thin. Which is more than can be said about me – despite running and cycling daily, the temptation to snack and eat cakes when I’d normally be working is beginning to take its toll.

What’s been happening these past few months has been truly awful, though, and losing a few weeks work is nothing compared to what thousands of families have been through. Fingers crossed, we’ve now experienced the worst the virus has to throw at us, and that gradually, very gradually, we will return to something almost like ‘normality,’ though exactly what that will look like remains to be seen.

Hopefully all clients and readers have remained healthy, safe and well and that I’ll shortly be able to message out about resumption of dog walks and pet visits for those who still require them.

Right, I’m off for a coffee and empire biscuit  banana while I flick through some of my favourite Leading Petcare photos of the last year or so.
