Eid in Lockdown
This photo represents our first Eid as a family in lockdown. This was the first Eid we didn’t spend with the whole family as we would usually. For this reason we tried to make the day as special as possible with decorations, presents and ‘Eid’ food for our children (and us!) to enjoy. I also recently gave birth to our third daughter during lockdown, which filled us with anxiety and excitement in equal measure due to the current climate. Staff at the labour ward at ROH were brilliant.

Chadderton Garden Centre
This is the garden centre at Chadderton Hall Park. I don't know why but there was something quite sad and desolate about the greenhouses being closed and the plants being left untended.
