WHAT has lockdown looked like for you? Whether you have been confined to home or out at work, home-schooling, shielding or doing your day job from the kitchen table, life has changed dramatically for all of us. We asked readers to sum up their own personal lockdown in photos - and here are some of our favourite replies. They were posted in our Camera Club on Facebook as part of the monthly prize competition, under the theme #MyLockdown. The winner is Sarah Gabbatiss for her utterly joyful photo taken in the icy weather. Well done Sarah. And congratulations to our other six finalists: Barney Sharratt, Jon Noble, Natalie Colverson, Sophie Wright, Rachel Platts and Richard Sparnenn.
IF a picture tells a thousand words - then this pair of images speaks volumes about the rollercoaster of emotions we are all undergoing in lockdown. The photographs tell the story of the Colverson family of York - and more specifically when big sister Heidi got to meet baby Phoebe for the first time. Because of Covid restrictions, Heidi s first glimpse of her new little sister was through an open window at York Hospital. It is a heart-melting moment to see Heidi s arm reach up and through the open window to touch little Phoebe. And what a joy to see her proudly giving her baby sister a bottle of milk once Phoebe was safely back home with all the family in Haxby.
