A festive message
A festive message from Jim Scanlon MBE, Chairperson of Leith Links Community Council;
Last Christmas we ended our message hoping that Christmas 2021 would be better.
You may not believe it but things have got better. Since last year the vaccine programme has been successful with most of the population double jabbed and have had or waiting to get the booster.
Unfortunately with this new wave of the virus we have to be careful when going out but if we’re sensible you can still enjoy Christmas with your family. Test test test before you meet up to protect yourself and others.
We are all having to learn to live with this virus to survive and have a reasonable life in this “new” normal.
Remember all those people who you all plan to phone and never do? Why not take the time to call one or two. I can guarantee they’ll appreciate it and you could feel better.
On behalf of the Community Council I hope you all have a peaceful and safe festive period.
It is true that we have been stressed and put to the test but overall, our community spirit has shone through, our NHS colleagues stepped up and now it seems normal before going out to check we have our mask along with our keys, money and phone! 2020 has been a long, difficult and very strange year but it is nearly at an end and with news about vaccines becoming available, there is hope that next Christmas things will be back to normal.
