lets ALL get out this last Bank holiday weekend

I live in North Cornwall but a ten minute walk from the nearest beach where at the moment, I would, as my neighbour informs me.find it difficult to ' stick a pin'.

i tried to say on another thread that covid numbers had rocketed (in my area) but apparently i was adding to the feeling of impending doom
they have really soared here and in neighbouring county
from 300 to 600 in a week

with that very descriptive vocabulary i must mention the red arrows are in my town tomorrow
the place will be packed shoulder to shoulder
we have decided on a suitable viewing place on a rock in the sea

Bank holidays here are for staying in. We avoid the traffic queues, the crowds, litter, noise and rushed service at restaurants.

Being retired, midweek seems the best time for outings. Why risk catching the virus?

We haven't been anywhere on a bank holiday in years - too much traffic, too many crowds, too many queues, too expensive. We go places when the schools are back. Plenty to do at home at the moment.

sorted

as in 2018

Edinburgh festival is on. The town is packed. Covid numbers have rocketed. Wonder why?!

I’m off tomorrow to spend the weekend with my DD and family. It’s DD 47th birthday (can’t believe it) and it will be fun to be with them all, they are 30 minutes from the Norfolk/ Suffolk coast and I’m sure the DGC will want to go ,so possibly we will venture out early to the beach . I hope my poorly back will survive their sofa bed!

No chance ! Bank Holidays in our area simply mean the M25 would be preferable if trying to get from A to B.
Family invited on Sunday for late lunch, I simply need to cook which is far less stressful than travelling in my view.

I’m hoping neighbours will all be out so I can have a quiet BH in the garden.

I fancy going and looking at sheds and I blame Shinamae

Me too!

Juliet27 what is a BH ?

It would be good to go to one of the beauty spots or beaches not far from where I live but I know they will be packed. I just find it stressful so will just walk in the country park as usual. I will go early as that will get busy later too.

Me too Juliet27 I’m jeering fingers crossed ?
Granmaderby10 I think it may mean Bank Holiday that’s what I read it as.

Keeping not Jeering lol don’t know where that came from.

Grammaderby10 Bank Holiday?
JaneJudge I’m eyeing our rather tatty shed with rather different thoughts now!

We are retired and now Bank Holidays are nothing special. There are various walks nearby where you can avoid crowds and traffic jams, or just sit in the garden with a cup of tea and a book, watching the sunflowers blowing in the wind. I envy those with big family get togethers though.

We had a new shed built just after Christmas. I may go and sit in it on Monday . It has big windows and makes a great birdwatching hide.

It has power and a cute little stove, but that won’t be needed in this weather.

DH and I always used to go to a nice country pub for lunch, but now I'm on my own BH Monday is just like any other day.

I am going out...........to my daughter's place - walking distance - for a family BBQ.
Seven adults and two grandchildren (2 years and 6 months old).

I am more pleased about this than I would normally be because we had been invited to an afternoon tea get together which I would have liked BUT it meant a 2 hour car journey
which I would not have liked, so we politely said thanks but can't make it

Bank holidays are for not visiting relatives as that involves long drives and endless queueing.
Instead it’s for walking and meeting friends-please let the weather stay fine!

Working Supermarket love it (no...really I do )

Next bank holiday Christmas day still in 2021
