Well, somehow we’ve managed to get to Christmas 2020!

This year has been the worst of times for all of us - people have lost friends and family due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some has lost their livelihoods and businesses. For others, it’s been a year of being alone and in isolation, which has brought about issues dealing with mental health and so on.

But…

There is some light at the end of the dark tunnel we’ve been in - we’re in the process of approving and administering vaccines to parts of our population and we’ve started on the road to - hopefully - a full recovery. We’ve had 9 months of heartache but it’s starting to come to an end.

It might not feel like Christmas but we should not lose sight of what Christmas is really about - celebrating those friends and family in our lives who love us dearly and want the best for us. Those special people who we cannot wait to see and embrace when we are able to.

We spent months caring for others during lockdown, with small acts of kindness such as getting shopping for vulnerable neighbours or clapping for the NHS and this is the behaviour we should be hoping continues as we make our way forward.

2021 brings with it a sense of new beginning as all New Years do, but we really have our hopes on this year as being the one which matters more than any other. Our eyes can be firmly fixed on the bright horizon, not the dark times of recent past.

From all at Dobson and Surrey Ltd, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.
