To keep spirits up, and to add a little ‘spice’ to our one outing for exercise per day, our office staff are doing a Lockdown Birdrace each week, during which we have 1 hour to go from our front door, on foot, to see as many species as possible on our own local patch, either alone or with partners, house mates or family.

However, as Report Manager I had been in constant contact with her since she joined the company six months earlier Website and Marketing Manager, so it was a pleasure to put a name to the face.
