This is the 12m council pathway at the front of our home which has kept little hands busy and generated over 50 social distancing approved conversations, with passers-by, over the last 24 hours. Cars have stopped for drivers to comment. People have returned multiple times to see the progress. We met our postie and thanked him. Then, this morning, we received two separate chalk deliveries from complete strangers (two sets of very kind grandparents who won't see their grand children for a while, each offering us their stash. We are especially grateful because chalk is sold out online and we wouldn't have had enough to finish otherwise!)
Tomorrow colouring work will commence on our adjacent driveway...Place[1]
