My lockdown location was at Lake Taupo in New Zealand. The most amazing little town in the center of Middle Earth. Tolkein’s amazing wonderland. Lake Taupo is a Volcanic lake, and is the largest lake in the southern hemisphere. Fun fact, it is the size of Singapore. There is so much to do here, all year round, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter followed by soaks in the thermal pools, to long lazy days in the summer on and off the lake. Maori culture, and folklore is a major part of the soul of the region. |

Linlithgow Palace, Scotland. This is my favourite place to take a walk, just to think & unwind. A walk around Linlithgow loch seeing the ducks, ducklings & the wild life makes me happy. Over the years bringing my family for picnics, walks & visits to the town's toy shop evokes so many happy memories! |

Helen Watkins - House Manager
I am in Messingham, in Lincolnshire, UK. I am at my mum's house. I left Jakarta on February 23rd for my mum's 85th birthday which was on March 1st. This was meant to be a short visit with my mum, my sister and brother in law who were arriving from Spain. Little did I know what lay ahead and I would be here for months when COVID-19 hit. I have enjoyed my time with the family and especially spending time with my mum. |

My location during lockdown was St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. I am standing in front of the red origami sculpture of a pelican located at the entrance to the new pier. I was able to walk around the long awaited pier which now takes up 26 acres. It is a great place for a stroll under the Florida sun as it combines the peaceful blue waters of Tampa Bay with the vibrant greenery of downtown St. Petersburg. |
