Breaking down into tears, she says: “What is she doing? I won’t see her over Easter. I know that she’s missing us and it’s the same for a lot of people…”
“It’s just so weird with everything that’s going on. Another further 831 people have died, too early to lift the Covid-19 lockdown and I just hope that people this weekend.
