I have 2 friends who live about 15 miles away. Before lockdown we met for coffee and a walk regularly.I usually drove up to town to meet them. Today I have a sore leg and invited them to come down here for a short walk and sit in the garden. After a lot of whatifery and hesitation they declined as the traffic might be bad on a Friday. I've always had to face the same traffic which has never held me up for more than 5 minutes so I feel they just couldn't be bothered!
