Martha 6 and her younger brother William who is 3 years old from Gloucester have created a rainbow for their window ahead of the school closures. Residents in Gloucester have started putting up pictures of rainbows in their windows to brighten the day and for the children to be able to look at on walks around the neighbourhood. Started in local Facebook groups like Hucclecote Community Association and was quickly adopted by other local pages like Coney Hill Community Combatting Corona. Now a Facebook page 'Chase the Rainbow' created on the 19th March has already attracted 72 thousand followers with people putting up pictures in their windows all across the country.

May Day and Oliver Jelf from Gloucestershire Morris Men is the sole dancer on top of Painswick Beacon, near Gloucester, Gloucestershire who dances to symbolic make the sun rise. Normally the whole troop would be dancing as part of an ancient tradition but due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and the elderly nature of some of the members Oliver was the sole representative.

The Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire is still closed with signs at the entrance to the village and by the river Windrush that flows through it. Following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's message to the nation updating the country on the lockdown and restriction due to the coronavirus covid-19 there has been confusion as to what is allowed and not allowed. With the public advised they are allowed to drive any distance to exercise there is fear from locals that the picturesque village will be overrun by tourists. With the village being a key attraction in the beautiful Cotswolds, its 'chocolate box' views of cottages and the bridges crossing the river it is popular with overseas visitors and staycation tourism too. Following a number of fines being issued over the weekend, for now the signs are staying up and the benches are staying taped to stop people congregating.

In village life, traditions can be very important and in the small Cotswold village of Bisley near Stroud this is no different. The annual Well Dressing on Ascension Day dates back to 1863 when the wells were restored under the then Reverend Thomas Keble. This year things were very different as the Coronavirus Covid-19 lockdown made this a private event with little fanfare while all the time observing social distancing advice. In normal times the oldest pupils from Bisley Blue Coat School would dress up in Victorian style costume and process through the village streets. The pupils would carry floral displays to dress the wells, these would include letters spelling ASCENSION, the year, star shapes and hoops. Today there were no crowds and no procession, the garlands replaced by seven hoops decorated by the children in the colours of the rainbow, the pupils arrived individually to the wells an hour apart. Coloured stars and a special tribute to the NHS had already been placed by the school above the seven water spouts at the foot of the hill down from All Saints Church.

Lifting community spirits with a Coronavirus workout in Gloucester Cul-de-Sac. A cul-de-sac in Gloucester at the end of Chestnut Road was transformed into a temporary gym for more than twenty people this morning. Personal trainer Sarah Burford put a call out on Facebook for a free workout in response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and the government enforced social distancing. "Most gyms are having to close their doors and it can be hard to find that bit of self motivation" Sarah Burford said "I wanted to offer a little something to the local community to spread some positivity, keep people moving and motivated and bring us together in these strange & challenging times." Sarah has been a physical therapist for 14 years and running her own business SBurf Fitness for six years. She is mobile, offering physical therapy in people’s own homes, she also works in care settings doing fitness sessions with adults with learning disabilities. The majority of care homes have had to cancel while others are trying to offer Skype sessions. PT Sarah knows the benefits of exercise "we’ll all be facing something we’ve never experienced before and we need to make sure we look after ourselves, both physically and mentally." Tara Van Dyk, Sarah's partner said "it will keep our spirits high as it looks like our wedding on 9th April won’t be going ahead" Sarah plans to offer these sessions with the appropriates in her road every Saturday at 9.30am

Pictured Master of Ceremonies Jem Wakeman who rolled the ceremonial cheese down Cooper's Hill, Gloucestershire just before 5.30am this morning to keep the tradition alive. No crowds cheered, only the sound of the dawn chorus accompanied the rolling of a ceremonial cheese down Cooper's Hill near Gloucester as the tradition lives on. Jem Wakeman the Master of Ceremonies was adamant a cheese should be rolled on Spring Bank Holiday Monday but with fears that people would descend on the village of Brockworth the only solution was at the crack of dawn. Mr Wakeman said "It's a tradition, the cheese just has to be rolled, I spoke with the police and we agreed that 5.30am was the only safe time to roll" Gloucestershire Police fear that groups will still gather and potential try and run an unofficial cheese and even race despite the event organisers pleading with people to stay away. Normally crowds of up to 8,000 descend on the Gloucestershire landmark to watch races of up to 25 people chasing after a 9lb Double Gloucester down Cooper's Hill in Brockworth village and in more recent years the locals have been joined by participants from across the country and world.

Black Lives Matter peaceful protest in Pittville Park in the shadow of Pittville Pump Room the iconic Regency building. The crowd were peaceful and respectful of social distancing where possible, then clapped and cheered the speeches and took the knee in memory of George Floyd. Cheltenham is a Spa town in Gloucestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds not known for its ethnic diversity but the strength of feeling and size of the crowd shows the Black Lives Matter movement is growing.
