I have found these pictures online, feel free to share, print and display in your windows. If you're a local and cannot print please let me know and I will print one or all 3 for you to come and collect.

Saw this and found it quite funny but also a great idea...

Please keep an eye out on the old and vulnerable family and people whom you know.

With the country entering another lockdown, just wanted to put it out there that if anyone is lonely or just wants someone to chat with, then message me and we can chat daily, every few days or once a week... Basically whatever suits you.
