KEEPING the kids occupied while schools and nurseries are in lockdown is a task facing most parents, but for one young Buckie girl it has been an opportunity to help others.
Holly Taylor (3) has been helping fill bags of potatoes destined for Buckie Kindness group – Covid-19 response, who have been doing sterling work supplying emergency and care packages to those left self-isolating as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
While her nursery is closed due to the lockdown restrictions, her grandad's farm shop at Bloomfield Farm just outside Findochty was to provide the inspiration for her community-minded venture.
Proud mum Kirsty said: "Holly's loves to help out at the farm shop although she can't do that at the moment due to the lockdown.
"The shop has been so busy lately and Holly thought it was sad to see so many people in need.
"My father-in-law James Taylor, who owns the farm, has been making donations for emergency and care packages group and Holly wanted to her bit, to give something back. She wanted to fill up bags of potatoes to give to the group and she's managed to do quite a few.
"John [Stuart] at the Buckie Kindness group has been delighted with the donations of fresh potatoes for the packages.
"We're very proud of her for thinking of other people like this."
Little Holly maybe cannot help in the shop, but she is still allowed to visit the farm to tend to her two pet sheep.
Like most youngsters, she is missing her pals.
"Holly is old enough to basically understand what's happening, though she still asks every morning if the germs have gone," Kirsty continued.
"She really misses the nursery, going out to play with her friends and helping in the farm shop, but like most kids she's so resilient."
