Lent is a time for self-examination.  What have you learned about yourself in three lockdowns and this Lent?  For myself, I have learned what I already knew – that I don’t have one single shopping gene, either online or in shops, and that the simple pleasures of nature, walking and food, will sustain me.  One of my friends says he can count on one hand the number of times he has got out of his pyjamas in the last year. The lure of TV can keep you in your PJs – not least Adam Curtis’ stunning series Can’t Get You out of My Head.  On a more serious note, I have also learned how quickly governments can establish a “new normal” in the collective mind.

It all begins with an idea.
