Find online courses during lockdown

Amazingly enough there are plenty of computer courses available for free thanks to the lockdown. Just have a look at sites like https://www.meganga.com/lessons/alison.com and openlearn, the open university service. The offer free guidance and only charge you if you need official certificates.

Social distancing at its best along the coastal walk

Don't feel you are limited to computer courses look at this fab site for art https://artyfactory.com/ or this one http://www.drawingcoach.com/


By the way with all the excess wildlife around the area at the momen you can ask alexa to name the sounds they make so that you can work out what is going on. simply say Alexa what does a blue tit sound like? and be rewarded with a chirp or two

Enjoy lockdown :)
