Since Prime Minister Boris Johnson called a nationwide lockdown, people across Kent have been coming up with new and creative ways to communicate.

Just weeks ago, the idea of hosting a virtual pub quiz is something most people would not have had the time for.

Now, for one teacher in Folkestone, this has become a regular event to look forward to with friends.

Terry Sharp, a History teacher from Folkestone Academy, was determined not to let isolation spoil his fun.

The 37-year-old said: "I used to run a pub quiz anyway so I decided to just have a bit of fun with what I know and invited my friends to join in online.

"It was a lot of fun and it even had an international feel to it with one team joining from as far as Columbia.

"I prepared some questions in advance and gave people a certain amount of time to answer and kept scores on a spreadsheet."

The first one was such a success, Terry is now planning more for future weeks in lockdown.

"We've ironed out all the problems and for the next one we'll change the quiz master so other people can have a turn at winning."

One family in Ashford have decided to fight the boredom by putting a twist on their traditional board game evenings.

Unable to visit her family, Terrie Ireland, a teaching assistant from Kennington, said she decided to keep the tradition going, only this time over video chat.

The 31-year-old said: "Faced with weeks at home away from family I wanted more than a phone call to say hello to my mum and sister.

"Our family love to get together and play board games so it was an obvious choice. I have cupboards full of them so I'm the quiz master and I move the pieces on the board.

"Each family is a team and we all communicate via video so there is little room for cheating."

Terrie is now making this a weekly tradition with a new game on the table each week.

But, it's not just videos keeping us entertained. One Gravesend ex-pat now living in France has been documenting his isolation journey on Instagram.

Bob Humphrey, has lived in Bordeaux for 10 years with his wife Vanessa, 47, and two of his children, Luca, 14 and Charlotte, ten.

Mr Humphrey has been posting pictures of himself recreating sporting activities in his garden, only not as you would expect.

The 62-year-old said: "It just started off with me just messing around. I usually like to go for bikes rides but because I can't do that at the moment I put my helmet on and moved the exercise bike into the garden and pretended it was the next best thing.

"My wife took a picture of it and put it on Facebook and people came back saying they wanted more so it's become a daily thing.

"I don't mind making a fool of myself if it puts a smile on somebody's face."

And thanks to modern technology, those with a birthday in isolation can still celebrate with loved ones.

Maia Jillians from Kings Hill, had a FaceTime sing-a-long to mark her third birthday.

Maia's grandmother Karen, 51, said: "The whole family came together to sing happy birthday to her and she loved it. It was a really weird situation but it turned out to be positive.

"We all planned to get together but obviously we couldn't and she was upset. She still wanted everyone to sing to her so at six o'clock, we all joined in on FaceTime to watch her blow out the candles."

To lift up people's spirits, one Youtube star from Snodland has made a video with a special message.

The eight-year-old Lilly Buck who goes to St Katherine's School has been encouraging her subscribers to stay home, and stay healthy.

In the video which has nearly 200 views, Lilly says: "Stay at home, stay clean and if you have to go out, keep a two metre distance from strangers. Thanks to the NHS, you've been our heroes."

Lilly's dad Paul said: "She wants to be blogger so I let her make videos under my supervisions. This time, off her own back, she made the Covid-19 video.

"She wrote the speech all by herself and I was so proud."
