As anyone who follows me will know, I very rarely post about anything other than plants but... we live in extraordinary times. Please, everyone, start social distancing now. Don’t wait for your government to tell you to. Cancel everything. Work from home if you can. Enjoy your garden and take care. I will post a link below to the best article I have read on the subject if you want technical detail PS I’m a retired doctor 🌎

Please share my message widely. The most important thing we can do is try to #flatten-the-curve https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca Some people think it doesn’t affect them and they will be fine. Think! It will affect everyone. Car accident? No ITU. Shake hands with someone with diabetes? Heart disease? Asthma? And be responsible for what happens to them? I don’t think so. Look after yourself and everyone else. 😘

Thanks for that @awomanonabike sound advice indeed 💚 I have to wait in for a signed for parcel today and there's no way I'm signing a plastic screen with my finger where hundreds of other people have done the same - will let you know if they take my parcel away again! 🤞

But also keep calm and don't be that selfish person who panic buys toilet roll. I was the same yesterday Sue when I signed for a parcel. I immediately washed my hands . @churchfarmgarden

The delivery driver yesterday said I didn’t need to. They have changed the rules in their company, so some people are ‘getting’ it 🤞@churchfarmgarden

Of course Charlotte. Though quite what people are going to do with all that loo paper I have no idea 🙄@charlotte

I had to go shopping yesterday and spent the entire time saying to myself #don’t-touch-your-face over and over and over 😂 @churchfarmgarden @charlotte

I thought that @awomanonabike and @charlotte, buying extra toilet rolls would have been the last thing I would have thought of 🛍

I have a cough so am taking care, not because I think I’ve got it but don’t want to give anyone my cough that might complicate their chances if they catch corona virus

Oh get well soon Joan. Act as if you have got it or that everyone you come into contact has, as we all should be 🤞 @joanboston

@womanonabike Parcelforce just delivered my parcel and asked for a signature which I declined, but I still got my parcel 👍

Good for you Sue! @churchfarmgarden

This is such a pretty little marginal plant
