Sunday 19 April 2020

It's easy to get bogged down in these unusual times, so here's a dose of Jersey positivity from social media to round off your week.

We’ve rounded up five posts that made us smile this month…

1. Beating the blues

Victoria College gave a "blue thank you" to essential workers across the island.

We’ve lit-up @victoriacollege blue ???? (& other hues ????) for a few different charities over recent years.

This time we’ve gone for a #BlueThankYou to all essential workers across the Island, until the end of @GovJersey ‘stricter restrictions’.????#HappyEaster #StayAtHome #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/eg7Lvc0MDf
