What are you missing?

Lunch out in the warm weather with a nice glass of wine included and trips to the theatre ...and walking ...as in walking along a route in the country side

Yes, walking would be nice. Ever since the lock down more and more people are walking past our house (at a correct distance of course) and we're stuck in our home full time.

Me and the dog are missing the peace and quiet, I am usually home alone with the dog, while hubby and 2 of our AC's who live at home are working, so the noise is driving us mad, we both just want a few hours peace, even them just breathing is getting on my nerves, 3 more weeks of this and I can see the men in white coats taking me away ?

Obvs my DDs and GD, jumping in the car and driving for 30mins to walk along the beach, browsing in the shops, seeing my friends, going to work and having a laugh with my colleagues etc etc

Cuddling my family,
Popping into town for lunch or a coffee

Fizzy water - it’s all I drink. Getting used to tap water ?

The dentist, I’ve had raging toothache since the start of lockdown

Children, grandchildren and freedom

St Ives...

Garden centres, freedom, a coffee and a sandwich in town, mooching around the shops. And of course top of the list is my gorgeous grandson !!

Oh yes, and my hairdresser!!

My normal "boring' routine life.
And obv my family not living with me and my 2 month old 1st grandchild ?

The part of my life I am missing the most is receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. I love my Church and miss worshiping with my family and friends, but mostly holy communion. You-tube has been great for "attending" virtual mass, but nothing compares to being there.

Isn't there something in the Bible which says when two or three are gathered together I am there with you...or something like that?
The churches Eucharist is only a symbol of Christ so why not have your own symbol at home. A quiet time praying on your own with a small piece of bread and a sip of wine which, although not consecrated, can be offered up for his silent blessing before you taste.

Flounder35, my nephew, who lives in a small house with his wife and two children, was soon feeling claustrophobic and irritated.

He's pitched a tent in the garden and is 'camping' there with the eldest - to give them all some space!

Sorry...church's not churches

Hugs with family, obvs

but I know how lucky we are not to have to worry about jobs or being confined without a garden or having to worry about parents. Looking forward so much to getting back to our " normal" life.

It's telling, that there is only one person so far who says she misses religious worship.

I heard my neighbours bickering in their garden. When I saw them outside, I found myself saying how I wished I had somebody to argue with!

Physical contact!

Lovely thread and I am comforted by alike we all are in so many ways, missing the small enjoyable things of life.
I missed having no hot cross buns this Easter and think about them a lot? I had just started using my local bus (one an hour) into town only 10 minutes away before lockdown and not worrying about parking the car. Looking forward to using it again, but don’t want to sit next to anybody!

Nannyhill please don't suffer with your toothache ,you should either contact your own dentist or call 111 who should put you in touch with someone who can help you .

My garden centre is open. I think it's because it also sells veg boxes, milk and eggs.

Just the day to day happenings really. Coffee or lunch with OH or friends. Shopping without having to think about isolating in the queue etc etc and wondering what is or isn’t available.

Could hear a toddler wailing when we were sitting in the garden. I felt sorry for whoever was looking after her/him and relieved it wasn’t me.

I'm missing OH going out with friends .
