Like keepingquiet I thought being in a support bubble only applied to a single person joining one other household. I also thought support bubbles had to be people living locally to each other. So I agree with you and would also not go but it will be hard if your DH doesn’t support you. We are around the same age as you (77) and although we are in good health, apart from one dog walk each a day, we have chosen to only go out once a week for food shopping. The only contact we have had with family members since Christmas Day has been phone calls, texts and FaceTime. I think it is up to us all to stay within the rules and not have our own interpretation of them.
Whenever I feel fed up about the current situation I keep thinking back to World War Two when my father was in the army for years and my mother had to cope with a small child, being pregnant with me and food rationing. Her own family and my father’s family lived over a hundred miles away so she had to rely on friends and neighbours. Thankfully she lived in a relatively rural area and didn't have the added terror of air raids to live with. This helps me to keep things in perspective.
