When we all finally emerge from lockdown, is there anything in particular that you'll miss?
Watch this postCurrently, there is no aircraft noise overhead and certainly much less noise or indeed pollution from vehicles on the road so peace and quiet and cleaner air are obvious bonuses from being in isolation, unless you work in the aircraft or car industry of course.
The fact that more of us have to be online in order to communicate with others has its pros and cons and perhaps some of us will miss that daily or weekly hello from loved ones that doesn't seem to happen so frequently when the world is a busier place.
And the simpler things from a different time such as neighbours checking up on each other and just being neighbourly, I for one will certainly miss that when the lockdown eases, unless of course, those relationships endure which I certainly hope they do. Is there anything you will miss?

I'll miss the fresh clean air and no squashed creatures, no flattened sheep or ponies on the road across the moorland, no would-be Jeremy Clarksons or Road-racers where animals have grazed in peace by right for decades.
I really hope that some of the care and thoughtfulness for others, the recognition of peoples' worth, and the value of quiet times in one's life will remain.
