We are actually a couple of days further into 'no new cases' than NZ - but Jacinda Ardern is definitely easier on the eye and with more personality than poor Howard! The Shetlands are a good month ahead of us. How are the Faroes doing?

Oh they're busy opening up everything (except the country itself to outsiders). Hang on... Yup, knew I had a link saved. It's from the 8th of May: Last COVID-19 patient recovers: After two months the Faroe Islands are finally virus free.

Well done them! Their first case was over 2 weeks before ours, and so, in the end, they managed to get clear in a few weeks less than us.

It looks as if on the whole we followed very similar paths for numbers per head of population and so on; and other governments could learn a lot!!

They certainly could! Although they could learn something from pretty much ANYONE (except America & Brazil). *cough*

We all want a Jacinda...

And I love the quilt. Knowing nothing about quilting (or the history) I was extra pleased to come across it.
