Good luck getting back smokie. Cattle class on my low cost carrier was a risk you take.Some people on our unscheduled Newcastle flight had left their cars at Stansted.
My rented villa was surrounded by empty properties, the weather was nicer and self isolation not a problem. Nice long distance views, lots of TV channels, plenty of books and alcohol and full supermarket shelves. Because of my old mum I decided to return....otherwise it was 50/50. I’m happy with my own company!
It’s still not being taken seriously here by a lot of old folks....as Lygonos says younger folks out socialising are less at risk. My 92yo mum was collected Tuesday AM by the local Age UK minibus and taken to shop at the local market. She insisted on seeing her elderly friends on the minibus, despite kind neighbours offering to do all her shopping.
That service, and future day trips out and communal meals finished today. Not before time.
