Hello world. Just the West family checking in here with some proof of life level footage. 'Where are we in the midst of lockdown 3?' - that's the content we're bringing you today. Both expectations and emotions can be tricky to manage and we're finding words for the experience. We'd love for you to read on so you can experience it with us...
LOCKDOWN 3
We are now into our third week of England’s national lockdown. The news that students would not be returning to school in person after the Christmas break came only a few days before the start of term.
Our first day back to home learning was tough. There were lots of tears and frustrations. Our primary school has done an excellent job with the online teaching this lockdown, but it is a lot. Both Perry and Shepherd have at least 2 Zoom calls everyday in addition to video lessons. Home learning will continue through the February Half term (at least).

WHERE WE ARE
It can be tricky to manage expectations for when restrictions will lift and life will shift again. Just this last week some news reports made it seem as if the government is now aiming to get children back to school before Easter. FURTHER, there is some rumouring that these tight Lockdownish level restrictions could stay in place...until...May. You know what, let's just not.

Since we are back in a national lockdown we are not able to travel outside our neighbourhood. We are trying to get out every afternoon for a walk to stretch our legs and clear our minds. On the weekends we do a long family walk with Lulu. Our sweet puppy is doing wonders for our whole family during this lockdown!!
