Tears after visit

Our son, single parent, visited with us with his 3.5 yrs old son as per the new rules. We hadn't seen him for 3 months. Wee one pelted up the drive and threw himself at me nearly knocking me over. Later when Granda was 'chasing' him, he jumped up onto me on the sofa, hanging into my neck and trying to get behind me screeching with laughter Save me, Save me ...
My heart was filled with joy that I hadn't felt in a long time.

It may be for well-being but is it less of a health risk? answer: no. So another guideline lacking in common sense.

I feel sorry for the families with two single grandparents ,which one do they choose. Difficult decision.

I believe it is for well being. Single people have no one to turn to or talk to or just hug and have had a long time in lockdown, couples have each other

No neither can I.
My friend is Single so no problem with her staying over.

Don't really understand why a single grandparent can and a couple can't.

I visited my daughter and granddaughter today and had Sunday lunch. It was so lovely, and yes, we did have a cuddle, at last! I had watched loads of lovely news stories where you saw children and grandchildren running up the front path and being cuddled by their Gran or Grandad, so as far as I'm concerned, if we can stay overnight, then we can have a cuddle.

I've seen my daughter and grandchildren twice since the beginning of March. The first time I caught sight of movement in my front path and there she was with the children unfolding chairs at the far end of the path.

We fetched garden chairs and sat well away from them but I cried when they had gone because I couldn't cuddle them so really I felt it was more pain that pleasure.

Today we went and sat in my daughter's garden and then all went for a country walk nearby. I wasn't as upset this time and enjoyed it.

annsixtyMy understanding of it is in England only a single person living alone or a single parent with a child under 18 can form a support bubble with another household. They can visit their house, stay overnight if they wish and no social distancing required.

It only applies to England and only to a single person living alone

Is it permitted in a bubble to stay overnight with family?
A friend of mine had just posted she has done it anyway but I did wonder if that is ok.
She is something of a maverick in lots of things.

I’ve been having visits with my daughter and grandkids in their garden recently and yes it’s emotional. But I’m so grateful we can at least do that and we are all healthy.

I read a heartbreaking story yesterday that made me so guilty about feeling tearful about my other 2 gc I can’t visit yet.

A little 4 yr old boy went home from hospital yesterday in Leeds where he’s been for 7 weeks having treatment for stage 4 cancer. His dad has been at his bedside all that time. His poor mum was isolating at home with a toddler and not allowed to visit at all. It’s unimaginable what that family have had to endure.

We went to our daughters up in Lancashire first time since February. It was our granddaughters first birthday we sat outside and watched her taking her first steps in the conservatory. I was so upset because we couldn't hug her.
