HOME-SCHOOLING, lots of exercise and playing with pets are just a few ways families in Romsey have been keeping busy during this third lockdown.

Although the national restrictions aren’t exactly what we hoped to start 2021 with, residents have been making the most of their time at home to help children.

But they have also been out on socially-distanced walks and enjoying a run around in playgrounds.

These pictures, sent in by our readers, show some happy moments captured despite the gloom of the virus crisis.

They might also provide inspiration to those who are running out of ideas on how to keep busy and are looking for something to do while abiding by the rules.
