While so much has happened in the last two months, the result of quarantine is that actually, it feels like nothing is happening at all. No-one in the streets, bars or shops. No trips out, visits with friends or playing in the parks. But then I realised that something great and photo-worthy was actually happening, because I (and I might be alone here...) have loved lockdown. Time made for family and friends, time to read, getting to know my neighbours, DIY, painting the house (twice) and supporting local businesses. So I wanted to capture how other Sherwood residents have felt about the last few weeks, and how they have been spending their time.
Thank you to everyone who let me take their photo, whether they were;

Taking a break from a day's gardening
