We’ve noticed on our walks recently an abundance of blue bows on trees, gateposts, doors and fences.
We asked our neighbour if she knew what they were all about, and apparently it is a means to show support to all key workers like posties, delivery drivers, refuse collectors and anyone on the front line as well as our NHS staff.
To me this is far better than standing out in the freezing cold banging a pot, the revival of which fell flatter than a frisbee.
I made enquiries, and the lady organising it lives in the next road, so we collected two bows on our walk this evening, one of which is for our neighbour, and we’ll put them up tomorrow.
The town is going to look very pretty and our vital workers are going to know they are really appreciated.

This is a really nice idea. I like it a lot. Small things like this go a long way to showing that we can truly care about things that matter as a society. You know what I mean?
We have a lot of blue bows around our city right now. A police officer was run over and dragged behind a car, passing away from his injuries. His wife is pregnant with their first child and everyone has been sharing blue bows and tying blue ribbons around their front trees to show support for his wife.
So sad, but what a wonderful way to show support at a difficult time.
A nice idea!
The town will be looking very pretty, especially at this time of year.
Lovely idea 💜
Cool idea!
I love this idea
Isn’t it wonderful? We’ll be putting ours up later today.
It is$, I wish we were doing it here
that’s so lovely! Its a nice way to feel appreciated! Xoxo
It’s a lovely idea, and a small country community a half hr drive from us (we are also rural) also tried to put coloured ribbons on or near their mailbox to appreciate the firefighters who fought the Aussie bush fires this time last year. Sadly they were told to remove them as it was interpreted a different way by the mailman, and was confusing to him. They weren’t pleased at all, and it became an article in the paper. Nice thought but didn’t work for them.
Well done on your blue ribbons, though!
Makes you wonder sometimes doesn’t it.
