AS you read this, I have just completed six weeks of self-isolation. The first fortnight was expected; the last four were, at the time, a worse-case scenario. In 10 days’ time we will hopefully have a clearer road map for what lies ahead in the immediate future. We all pray that there are no speedbumps on the road before then.

We have all endured quite a lot, and thankfully the vast majority are today in a safe place and in good health. There are those who have not been so fortunate, and to them and their loved ones we extend our condolences, wishing them to know that they are at the forefront of our thoughts.
