Going out out

Laurensnan hope you have a lovely day with your son and grandchild. Sad times happy times.

oh yes, Molli, surely our mental health deteriorating makes a journey essential? I do hope your dd can see this.. and you get to see each other,

as painful as it is seeing our loved ones at a distance, I think we have to do it..

and yes, makes me feel better (sorry) to hear that others cry also... that is part of the problem being isolated,, we get to feel only our pain

praying for all here.

We have arranged a walk with friends of ours.
We will meet in the car park of the woods & then split into the 2 men going one way & the 2 women going the other. It is a circular walk so we can wave as we pass halfway. That way we can have a good girly chat & they can talk about football.
Everyone happy.

Oh Laurensnan I am so happy for you- enjoy!! ?

Awww how lovely for you both.
Take a tissue as you may feel alittle emotional,have a lovely time.

I'm not going anywhere at the minute I am just keeping to my usual half hour dog walking with Poppy and to my local shop if anything is needed.
At least I can sit on public benches and people watch for a short while when I am out doors.

My daughter took her two little girls to a quiet and open space to use their scooters. They were more excited about going somewhere in the car I think! ?

Jacalpad - I changed my car in February too. Its been sitting out front getting dirtier every day. I was first in the queue for the newly opened car wash this morning and was highly embarrassed that I couldn't remember how to put the window down - or up! But then I've only been driving for 40 years.

I’m here in Wales. No going out for me but I’m super excited for those of you that are and able to meet a friend.

Anrol my condolences , a very sad first trip out for you.

LadyGracie, no, we are still not allowed out, let alone out out. However, I do believe that garden centres are now allowed to open in Wales, so, if I was allowed out, I would be visiting one.

Rosalyn69 and you too - however, garden centres could be very busy!
Are we allowed over the border to England to go out out?

I don’t know about allowed into England but I know the English are allowed in!

Are not that should be!

Laurensnan
Do you remember, we are not allowed to see 2 people, whether adult or baby. Only oneperson. Not your son with his baby.
I know it seems a bit 'off' but they are the rules otherwise people would say. 'Why not my 2 yr old or 5 yr old'?

I do hope you enjoy the day but hope your son does not take the baby.

No travelling over any borders. Other countries have different rules about lockdown and meeting.

That last post was to Callistemon

I haven't seen any of my children or grandchildren since before Christmas as we all went on separate trips Australia, Fuerteventura and we went on a coach tour to Austria. We then went to Spain early Jan.and the rest is history...I'm hoping we can meet up for belated Easter, birthdays, etc in the not too distant future.

I know Gabriella, it was a try-on.

I do know what the rules are in Wales but some streets are half in Wales, the other side in England. They will have to put cones down the middle of the roads, no putting a foot on the other side!

I was under the impression that we were only allowed to see one other person.
Is a baby not a person.
At what age is the cut off between a toddler and a baby? Can you see daughter and 3 yr old together?

Strange, though, isn't it, that you could travel from Surrey to Yorkshire to see your DD but I couldn't go 6 feet into England?

It's not as cut n dried as the Government likes to think, if that's the case. It should really have been the same rules for the whole of the UK. As for the recent Anglo/French treaty....???

Yes Callistemon, I agree, it's ridiculous,

What fun for you? I’m going in car later with no guilt now that I shouldn’t be either, I won’t be stopping just putting my cd on in my car and getting out. The lady opposite went out after eight weeks I thought I bet she’s excited,

I drove for the first time in weeks yesterday.
Hardly any cars ? on the road, even though it is usually a busy A road....I did feel a bit wobbly!
