As the Easter holiday began yesterday Cat Meade, co-ordinator
of the Llangollen Coronavirus Help
Group, posted on Facebook that the hard-working team of volunteers were
taking a break until Tuesday when they would be back ready to help the
community through lockdown.
One of the key volunteers was about and about early on
Good Friday delivering urgent medication.
And as he passed over the bridge Mike Connolly shot a
quick video, panning round to show how eerily quiet the town was in contrast to
how it usually is on a bank holiday.
Cat posted: “Happy Good Friday to you all.
“Let’s spend this weekend being grateful for what we
have, our loved ones, our friends, our health, our community, sunshine.
“It is easy to lose sight of the most precious things in
life with our busy days, weeks rolling into months ... catch up on Facebook,
call, write a letter, tell that person what they mean to you, let’s take a
positive from all of this, keep smiling.
“What a FANTASTIC scene Llangollen set last night for the
8pm Clap. What a Town! Music from all around was. Awesome.
“Our Volunteers are all taking a break until Tuesday and
well deserved Please only call if urgent, we all need to recharge and will be
back ready to help from Tuesday.
“There are still a few Light Sabres at Newsagents in Castle
Street, get them ready for next Thursday.
“Orders still being taken for #llangollenfamily tshirts.
“Happy Easter Everyone, Enjoy.”

As he posted his video, Mike Connolly wrote: “Feeling proud in Llangollen.
“Out
early Thursday morning delivering urgently needed meds. Not a soul to be seen.”
Another video was posted yesterday by Ronnie Louise Medri showing how people were
keeping occupied during the lockdown.
She wrote: “The staff
at Ysgol Bryn Collen are missing all
of our children and parents.
“We know that our community is missing us too so we have put
together a Fitness Frenzy video for you to follow at home.
“Please show it to your children and share so that all of our pupils and
families are able to be positive and feel a little bit together whilst we are
apart. #GoBrynCollen
Meanwhile, Clwyd South
MP Simon Baynes posted the letter (above) he had sent to Prime Minister Boris
Johnson as he was gripped by the virus.
He said: “Very pleased Boris is out of ICU
and we all wish him a speedy recovery and a Happy Easter. This is the
letter I sent him earlier in the week with best wishes from my constituents and
his many friends in Clwyd South.
The vicar, Father
Lee Taylor, returned to Facebook to live stream the Good Friday service
from St Collen’s during the afternoon.
