Note from Web editor: I’ve taken the liberty of copying this excellent newsletter from News From Park Street, because it’s particularly helpful right now for the community.

Several people have been in touch and given me their phone numbers. These public-spirited people are prepared to phone people who may be self-isolating and would like a friendly call, they are also prepared to help with tasks such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Please email me (with your phone number) at vernonbarbara@gmail.com if you would like this help.
I learnt today that Sparshotts (based in Bricket Wood) have a next day delivery service in the St Albans area. sparshotts.co.uk/cart/. I believe it is almost impossible now to order from the mainline supermarkets without several weeks wait and I think this could be a lifeline. Orders over £20 are free.
One can order a small cart or a family cart or make ones own choices. But the best bit is they also sell dairy products (milk, cheeses etc) and bread, plus other non-perishable items eg tins of coconut milk and lentils. I have just placed my first order and propose to continue using them for the foreseeable future.
Please stay well! Best wishes Barbara
