In these challenging times, we need other things besides food to nurture us. And at this time it is an opportunity to exercise not only our bodies but our minds and do those things that we have always wanted to do – and found excuses not to do or simply never done or achieved. Lauris Morgan-Griffiths wondered what there was out there to be enjoyed online, locally and nationally, from your home.
