Living with Covid-19

A Day in the Lock-down Lives of the Ipswich Indoor Group

Social distancing and isolation are very real challenges for all of us – particularly for those whose lives are all about outdoor activity, those who live alone (and there are many of us in the IOG) and those who don’t have strong social media networks. With the goal of maintaining the rewarding social contact so many of us have found in the IOG whilst the group’s outdoor activities remain suspended, we have started this new “Living with COVID-19” newsletter category to welcome photo essays on how we are all spending our days: the funny, the sad, the ridiculous, the achievements of life under COVID-19.

To be clear, all Living with COVID-19 newsletter posts on this website, which will also be linked from the group’s public Facebook page, are NOT from official IOG activities, and should be viewed as reports from our friends within the group making the most of their own private walks, abiding by the relevant coronavirus guidance. They are intended as a diversion for readers, whilst the IOG’s outdoor activities remain suspended.

As editor of our Newsletter, I look forward to seeing and hearing about the range of ways we are all muddling through – ‘too busy’ excuses will be met with laughter.
