If there's one good thing that's come out of coronavirus and the lockdown it's a long overdue renewal of our sense of community, and I hope that by resuming this blog I can also help to promote that, although I can't guarantee that local and national politics won't intrude!
For now, though, in our little cul-de-sac one of the highlights of the week is our Sunday lunchtime gathering, wine glasses or coffee mugs in hand, to chat across a two-metre divide.
Despite the appalling example set by our so-called leaders we are still trying to be socially responsible!
With so many musically talented residents, we've even had a couple of concerts, passing the hat round online and raising more than £200 for Salisbury Hospital ArtCare in the process.
Now this week's get-together has sparked a little history project dreamed up by one of my neighbours.
Since our road seems to have been developed in dribs and drabs, we're collating dates from conveyancing paperwork and the accompanying plans to draw up a timeline, and gathering as much information as we can from online sources about previous occupants to create a shared record.
It promises to be a fascinating exercise and maybe it will inspire others to follow suit .........
