‘We’re all in this together’ - rainbow pictures spread joy

A little rainbow In Park Road Picture: Ross Hansen (Image: Archant)

Pictures of rainbows have been drawn/painted and displayed in windows and doors as a way of keeping spirits up during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some have created banners hanging on the front of their houses, while others have decorated swan boats.

Since appealing to our readers for these colourful messages of support, the Journal has been inundated with photographs.

And we want that to continue.

So if you feel inspired by the pictures you see and want to create your own, please send your photographs to alex.walton@archant.co.uk and they may appear in a future edition.

Also, we want to see photographs and videos of people taking part in the weekly clap for the NHS and other key workers. Send them to exmouth.editorial@archant.co.uk
