Our stores were busier than ever…While managing a general sense of unease we were preparing to keep our stores open.

I hope people will remain kinder, more thoughtful and smile more often at passersby.

I thought about lockdown as something like a giant rainy day…but it’s okay because you know you’ve got enough to do inside.

The lockdown has reminded me of the polio epidemic when I was at primary school in the late 1940s.

Everything has been turned on its head…it’s an opportunity to do things differently and better in the future.

The government’s pursuit of safety resonated. Putting our health first and economy second seemed right.

I’ve been more appreciative of what is here, what we have. I’ve noticed the ebbs and flows of everyday life more.

One of the best things has been watching my neighbourhood expand – virtually and in reality.

I hope that the lack of face-to-face interaction during lockdown won’t change the way people relate to each other in future.

Amelia: It’s weird to move home again after living away from our family and having a lot of freedom.
