Magic Wednesday ?

I think letting people drive any number of miles to wherever they wish in England, will cause havoc, and people will flock to the coast, and National Parks every time the weather is reasonable. They will forget that toilets will not be open and opportunities to buy food and drink will be limited. I think a rise in infection is bound to happen.
While I understand that home schooling children will be difficult for many parents, I disagree with allowing Year 1 children back to School. They simply will not be able to resist playing with friends, running up to one another etc.

Riverwalk apparently nine Chelsea Pensioners have died from COVID19

I remember going there many years ago when DS's choir sang for the pensioners.

My day would have been magical if I had followed my dream of driving 200 miles to do my weekly shop!

However, despite trying to convince myself that the car park of M & S was an ‘open space’ and I could ‘exercise’ by pushing a heavy trolley for half an hour , my common sense got the better of me .

Seeing my young son , albeit behind a till and conveyor belt , would have made my day and the 400 mile round trip worth it .

I would never have forgiven myself if I had been involved in an incident of any sort and needed help from any of the emergency services.

The shops were quite a bit quieter this morning when I did my parent's shopping for them, so that's a good knock on effect.

I'm doing much the same as any day reading jigsaw just ordered some wool to start knitting again. Short walk but cold here in sunny Folkestone what made me smile today my littlest grandson 18mths now says nanny every day at 3pm to whatsapp facetime me.

I am not going anywhere this weekend, even for a cycling ride, speeding along the shared footpath. Its going to be a heatwave, so say, and that will bring everyone out, going to the beaches and into the country. Boris should have waited another 3 weeks this will just bring a spike in the deaths and we will see that next week.

can't see how anyone could/would get infected in open spaces

Unfortunately you can if people are crowded together and don't socially distance. The risk is lower outdoors but not zero

The car had not been driven for two weeks so we drove along the seafront without stopping, cars were parked nose to tail along the main road. People were walking and running on the beach and there were five surfers with those parachute things.
We had no intention of leaving the car but I don't suppose we could have found anywhere to park anyway, public car parks are still locked.

Tee time Are you sure toilets are open. My husbands golf course aren't and we are not allowed them open on allotment

I feel sorry for reception children starting school, not a nice introduction to their school lives, everyone full of fear, constant handwashing and keeping apart from other children you desperately want to socialise with.
