Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Lockdown 3 in England this week, with restrictions coming into play on Tuesday, January 5. And as we all got to grips with the latest national rules, we took to our social media pages, where you shared the activities and hobbies which have had a positive impact on your mental health during these difficult months. Here are some of the suggestions you made – thank you to everyone who shared a story with us.

7. Pets
These furry friends have been pleased to have us spend more time at home. Thanks to Therese Allen, Emily Birch and Emma Milne for these pictures of Peggy, Tilly and Shadow. Photo: Therese Allen, Emily Birch and Emma Milne

More time spent at home led to us getting the paint roller out and giving things a spruce up! Photo: Pixabay
