Tales of lockdown winners announced

We received many wonderful submissions of poetry, prose, art and videos to our Arts Council funded Tales of Lockdown blog on the theme of Living in Times of National Emergency and we have been posting them over the last year. The following pieces are the ones which really caught our eye, and were also endorsed by a high number of online hits on the site itself and through social media. Well done to all of our winners.
