  • This ward was not used to having to wear full PPE, but due to the Coronavirus Pandemic they suddenly fouynd themselves having to wear full PPE as if on the ITU Wards.  It was poignant the missing mask, and although this nurse was perfecty fine, so many NHS colleagues have lost their lives to Covid19 in the care of others. <br />
<br />
From my exhibition series for  BetsiCadwaladr via @BetsiResearch<br />
The brief was NOT frontline action, but the way hospitals & staff have adapted to cope with the crisis, from PPE to social distancing & also those vital behind the frontline workers essential throughout the crisis to support frontline NHS staff. <br />
A selection of my images will be printed by me to form a small touring exhibition open to the public later in the year hopefully. In the meantime, there will be an online gallery showing a larger range of the images I've taken.

This is a self portrait and it’s just so apt for how I feel during the height of Covid lockdown here in Wales. <br />
<br />
I’m struggling to cope with the lockdown to be honest, as all the things that I need in my life for my mental sanity, I can’t hug, touch, visit, immerse myself in, or love. I’d tried to be positive at the start hoping it would be just a few weeks before a vaccine was discovered and we’d get back to some sort of normality, but it’s now clear that my life could be changed for months or years and I don’t think I’ll cope well with that duration.<br />
<br />
With my partner being a front line intensive care nurse working with Covid patients, and with some friends and family members who are quite vulnerable, I’m not prepared to raise two fingers to the authorities and do my own thing, unlike like some others I’ve heard about, but my God I AM so bored after 9 weeks of doing none of the things I need to be doing to make me ME. I feel I’m losing my identity as well as my mental balance.

Watching an Attenborough documentary as I write this, and it's clear that the damage we cause is everywhere and it's increasing. It's so much easier to focus on the beauty, to pretend everything is OK, but we are such a destructive, consuming species. <br />
<br />
I was thinking too, about the mental damage going on through lockdown, in so many ways, but for many, through wrongly being denied access to nature and what healing power it has left to give us. So many of us have chosen to live a much more economically challenged life to be closer to nature and landscape, for me at least because being out in nature is the only true means of me maintaining spiritual and mental balance. The governments say they are doing this to keep people safe, but the mental damage they are causing is considerable and very real. I don't think there has been much wisdom or foresight applied by those in suits, to how to keep people safe mentally without any undue risks to health in other ways. This damage is real for me, and will last my lifetime. There was zero need to ban so many sensible and regular outdoor folk from doing their covid safe activities, it was easier for ministers to make blanket rules but to the detriment of many people's well-being.

  • Amazingly, after doing a quick walk to Llanddwyn Island this afternoon before Jani started another night shift on a busy Covid ITU ward, I did an absolute blast up Moel Eilio straight after to catch elusive sunshine promised for hours earlier. <br />
<br />
I went from van to peak & back in 1hr 15 and lost 50 litres of perspiration doing so, only to see the huge ball of sunshine drop below the clouds before dropping further behind a massive band of cloud on the horizon! <br />
<br />
It was just wonderful to be alone on the summit as sunset disappeared and a bitter dusk drew around me. I refused to use my headtorch on the way down, revelling instead in my night vision under a half moon
