Coronavirus: How our communities will pull through – The Yorkshire Post says

The need for social distancing has meant that families who might otherwise have driven some distance to be together, or even gathered in the local pub, will be put off doing so.

But the fact that we are all now connected, if not by the internet then by phone, means that no one need truly be alone tomorrow.

At such an uncertain time, there is no price that can be put on a friendly and familiar voice telling someone that they are not forgotten. Indeed, it is true every day, not just on Mothering Sunday.

For those lucky enough to be under the same roof, tomorrow is an opportunity to count one’s blessings – and perhaps to rediscover the art of home cooking in preference to a crowded restaurant.

Every mother will want to feel connected, this year more than ever, and it takes only a little thoughtfulness to bring families closer, whatever the physical distance between them.
