02.01.2022 FRIDAY WALKERS: We all enjoy our Friday walks, especially the social side to them so we will continue them as long as we can. Whether we continue to have Friday walks while the COVID -19 pandemic is active, will depend on government and medical authorities directives, and whether people will be wanting to attend and practice appropriate methods of reducing the spread of the virus. We have to look after each other. The coffee get-together afterwards might have to be foregone. Let me know your thoughts.
