Lockdown and birthdays are two words that do not go well together.
Children love celebrating their birthday but with social distancing and bubbles birthday parties are no go under lockdown.
When Emery Maclean​ set out on her morning lockdown walk with mum Abby Vogel​ and big sister Avah​ she quickly realised this one was extra special.
Within minutes the 4-year-old spotted a collection of balloons tied to a gate – and the shocked girl was told by her mum they were for her birthday.
It is lovely to see neighbours pitching in to help the youngster. If you have a birthday or a especial anniversary (wedding, 21st etc), have you thought about how you are going to celebrate it?

We hope everyone is hanging in there so far during the latest lockdown. Remember to stay safe, keep smiling, and we will be back to normality in no time! 😁👍

It is also a fantastic time for those of you working from home to check in on your set-ups, and make sure you are doing everything you can to limit the postural stressors on spine. Check out our video below from lockdown last year to remind yourself on how to set-up a spine-friendly workstation at home!

Couple this with daily movement, good food, water and rest. 🏃🥦💦😴
