Q&A with Harriet

What have you been up to during lockdown? 

I spent the best part of lockdown working as a key worker and because I work nights, the little time I got off I spent shopping for food and just spending time with my kids at home. 

What are your plans for Life After Lockdown?

After the lockdown I would like to have a nice break with the kids just to recoup and in the long term go away like we were supposed to before it all happened.

The ‘Life After Lockdown’ Photographic Project 

The Life After Lockdown photographic project was started in June 2020, following the British government’s move towards easing the lockdown measures put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Lisa Brown, a photographer and writer living and working in Preston, wanted to find out how local people had spent their time during lockdown and what plans they had for ‘Life After Lockdown’.
