Memories of the great plague 


From Paul James:

As Editor of Sou'Wester, I should like to include in the next Coronavirus edition any interesting or unusual lockdown tales from members.  Have you been doing anything unusual and interesting?  Please let me know at Paulandrewjames1949@yahoo.co.uk.


What on earth have you been doing?


This is what the esteemed Editor of our Sou'Wester Newsletter has been asking (see above).  With our rides suspended,  the country in lock-down, some of us confined to barracks or shielding, from the hesitant response, it would seem: very little. That cannot be true. When he asks what unusual or interesting things we might have been doing, including solo rides, I'm sure that any lock-down disclosures will be treated with the utmost discretion. Forget your blushes and let him know what you have been up to in these bizarre and unforgettable times. I know, social distancing does make things difficult, but you must have been doing something, either solo or in a group of one + one. "What did you do during the great corvid19 epidemic of 2020, Grandad?" "Nothing." Come on, give our Editor a hand, sharpen your pencils and get the Sou'Wester presses rolling, or he'll be on furlough and the Sou'Wester history. We cannot allow that.

Jeff
