In this 90 second read we share a quick round-up of some of the good news which is happening during life under lockdown.

Welcome to the Feelgood Friday update from us at Sarah Clark Property Consultants.

And here are four reasons to be cheerful and optimistic that Bristol, the UK and the planet, will pull through this testing period.

Let’s Go on a Bear Hunt

Following on from the rainbow posters brightening windows across Bristol and the UK we’re now seeing the rise of the ‘care bears.’ This lovely idea is for families to put teddy bears in their windows to brighten up the walks of people as they go by during their daily exercise. Along the lines of the popular children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, I think this is a lovely idea and people of all ages, not just children, can get joy from this.

Clap for Carers – An Encore

The UK turned out in force again yesterday evening to give another round of applause for the incredible staff of the NHS and this time to include all key workers. This is a fantastic way to bring the community together (practising social distancing of course). It is such an uplifting event for all those that participate, we see we are not alone there are people out there, and we can all show our support for those key worker who are doing so much for our wellbeing and safety.

One to Watch

One of the most uplifting things we’ve seen on the internet this week is the American actor John Krasinski’s Some Good News updates. It’s funny, uplifting, moving and heart-warming. Well worth checking out on YouTube.

And Finally, …Who are your #localheroes?

Not all Superheroes wear capes. And that’s why we want to celebrate Bristol’s #Localheroes. We would love to hear from you about those people who are making a difference to our community.

It could be NHS workers, volunteers, retail staff, good neighbours and anyone who you want recognised for bringing the feelgood factor to life in your community.

And remember folks every day that passes brings us closer to this all ending and life returning to normal.

But for now: Stay at Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives.

Thanks, and keep safe, positive and healthy.
