Little appreciation post for all health care workers💖
I just heard my entire street and more clapping outside. Ashamed to say I’d lost track of time, so I wasn't able to get out on he doorstep in time. But I opened my window and stuck my arms right out to cheer and applaud. Our NHS is struggling and I just hope beyond hope more people will do their bit to help ease this. I hope they can get through this and get the rest and reward they deserve when this nightmare is over. Especially as we could peak within a fortnight. I’m scared and upset, but apart from one last shop, I hope I can stay home until my birthday on the 26th. Those heroes working in the NHS, out on deliveries, behind the counters, saving all of us. The applause is one thing, but it’s not enough. We need to play our part and take this seriously if we hope to save lives and help them save lives.
Clapping for the NHS 👏
So tonight at 8pm GMT the people of England were called to come together to show our collected gratitude for the people who are currently working on the NHS frontline in order to tackle the coronavirus.
People were asked to stand at their window at 8pm and clap their hands to say thank you to all of those who are currently working in order to help save lives!
It was such a surreal experience hearing the silent nights air suddenly broken with a large round of applause, whoops and cheers. It shows that everyone is thankful to those selflessly working through this in order to help others.
I don't know how many other people across the country participated in the event but on my street people were a little shy to begin with, as it was a very British affair of ' who starts this?' then all it took was one person to clap and the street filled with cheers and applause.
This is something I have never seen before, and even though we were all in our homes it somehow felt more connected than ever. Neighbours waved and shouted out to each other 'd'ya need anything just shout!' at a time when everybody is freaking out, panicking and fretting about what tomorrow will bring, it's nice that collectively, we stopped thinking of ourselves and instead showed our appreciation to the people who only think of others.
I just wanted to personally say thank you to the NHS doctors, nurses, admin, careres and cleaners. You are doing amazing! ❤️
I thought I was fine and then I heard people in town clapping for the NHS, for me and my colleagues and it got to me.
Our neighbour across the close waved at us, somebody set off a fire work and we could hear this distant applause from town and it was lovely.
Thank you if you clapped tonight, that might well keep some of us going in the coming weeks.
A Little Bit of Hope
Last night during our ““Clap for Carers” in the UK, (which happens every Thursday at 8pm throughout lockdown), a beautiful double rainbow appeared - although I only managed to capture half of one.
Within the UK a lot of children have painted or drawn rainbows to display in their windows and the rainbow has been used as a symbol of hope. This seemed very fitting last night during our clap when two appeared at once.
I love to see rainbows at the best of times but yesterday evening this really instilled a ray of hope into my heart. We will get through this. This won’t be forever. We all reunite with our friends, families and colleagues soon. We just have to hang in there, stay strong and remain positive. 🌈
#GrandmaBetty takes #ClapForCarers very seriously. Each week she tests a different method of making noise as she finds it awkward to clap with her arthritis. Today was a tin watering can. Once she got into a rhythm it sounded pretty good!. #ThankYouNHS #clapfornhs #clapforthenhs #clapforourcarers https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdh7fwglpk/?igshid=1skz2byupvisw
