Sad and tough time's for businesses once again! ๐
A voice tells me worse things happen at war, so I'm truly grateful that isn't the case...Remember to worry less, love more, be kind to yourself and others, look after your health, especially your heart ๐
We'll get through this difficult time, we need to reassure ourselves circumstances and viruses don't last for ever...I'm always at the end of a phone if you need to chat about anything and everything ๐ค
I look forward to welcoming you in the new year.
Warmest wishes to you all may peace & faith be in your hearts ๐
Following advice from the Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell (STAC) and a sitting of the Emergencies Council, further restrictions have been set out to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Jersey and protect the most high-risk Islanders in advance of the vaccine roll out.
