My lockdown experience

Caitlyn van Rij —

To me, being stuck at home has been an opportunity to try new things.

Recently, there has been a virus going around called the coronavirus. Due to this contagious virus, our country has had to go into lockdown. I will tell you a little bit about my experience during lockdown. 

Lockdown hasn’t been that unfamiliar because we have already been through it and we are all a little bit used to it. To me, being stuck at home has been an opportunity to try new things, such as, trying out new art techniques with watercolours and cooking/baking new food. Also, since being at home was a little bit boring, my sister and I decided to do a photoshoot in our backyard. 

Some of the photos turned out really well. I have had to take my dog Ted on lots of walks around Churton Park for exercise. Overall, my lockdown experience hasn’t been that bad.
