Down and Ups

Hello again Oasis ladies, partners and friends. Another month has passed and we are still no nearer being able to hold Oasis meetings in person. Beccie’s October blog painted a bleak picture of a sharp rise in Covid cases and, almost inevitably, we find ourselves in ‘lockdown 2’. By an extraordinary coincidence, at this precise … More Down and Ups
