Not so long ago, parents were flooding the Sunday service of the nearby church in hope against hope that their child could gain entry to one of the few excellent state schools in this socially diverse area. As a result, the status of the school grew in prestige. How times have changed. Lockdown's over – so set my Manolos free! AS A high-heel aficionado, I'm thinking of setting up a support group to help in their reinstatement now that we've spent so long in Birkenstocks and trainers. Luckily, fashion has a way bringing the unfashionable back into the fold, so I guess by next year my precious Manolo heels, which have spent lockdown in a cupboard, will be set free again. 2020, the year that everything changed My current pet hate is people who say that really, their lives are no different under lockdown.

Pictured: Customers wearing protective clothing and face masks enjoying a drink at the Wellington Pub OK, I've been lucky enough to stay healthy and be employed but that doesn't mean that my life is the same. Before, I wasn't living in a world where a terrifying number of people are losing their jobs, and many have lost family and friends. This morning at my desk feels much like many mornings do. But tomorrow is frighteningly unknown for all of us. Well done, Bernie, you'll be an Ace dad Welcome Ace Ecclestone, son of 89-year-old ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie and his much younger wife Fabiana. No elderly dad of my acquaintance – and I know a few – initially had another baby high on their must-do list, but they've all been among the most besotted fathers I know. And often far better than they were first time round. Perhaps a more urgent acquaintance with your own mortality makes you more alive to the thrill of a new birth.
