It’s even more important to reflect on the past during the pandemic as a reminder that scenes like these will return one day.
For now, let’s enjoy everything from having fun on a lake to visiting the market.
We have a reminder of the day the Easter bunny visited The Bungalow pre-school and Easter fun at the Ashfield Nursery.
There is much more besides but you will only find out by joining us on a retro journey through our archive photos.
