Mother Lode
By Adam Elms
Contains strong language
Meet Barry. Being in isolation isn't unusual for him and his old mum so, as they sip bizarre cocktails and bicker over the remote control, it seems they're taking the lockdown in their stride. But what happens now the cupboards are practically bare? And just where has Barry's last Twirl gone?"
