The sun is shining, the streets are empty and like the majority of the population I am indoors. The difference is this is not because of Covid-19 – I have to acknowledge that my isolation is nothing to do with the virus and everything to do with longstanding health issues.

When I first heard about lockdown my first reaction was similar to when Britain voted to leave the European Union – a very personal regret at all the opportunities I had missed  and all the time I had wasted.

Two weeks’ ago I was supposed to be in Italy – but honestly would I have gone – I have cancelled so many appointments and holidays missed out on so many things.

Now I have to ask myself a question – do I want to hide away – this time with Government permission – or do I want to finally live a healthy life – a crazy, classic life.

Yes I do.

And is this the best time to tackle a life changing, life saving transformation? Of course – because now I know this moment is all I have.

EVERYTHING I WANT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FEAR
