Lockdown #3 Diary – Week Eight! Well! A week beginning with not only some positivity but sensibility from the Conservative government which I feel is a juxtaposition but very welcome.

While most people believe the process takes three months to complete, they often forget to include the many activities undertaken before getting a contract.
