I live on an otherwise quiet country lane which becomes busy in spring as it leads to two large privately owned caravan parks with 200 static vans on each and provision for many tourers and tents. For the last two days the traffic, towing caravans, boats and jet skis, has increased hugely. I am extremely concerned as this mass increase in population will be a huge drain on our resources such as goods in our shops and supermarkets. If even some of these people become ill then our local hospital will be overwhelmed. I am not at all happy to see them arrive this year.
On the other hand, if I had young children who can no longer attend school and I owned a static van by the beach and wanted them to be safer then I would most certainly bring them to a quiet seaside location where they could run about in the fresh air.
They do bring welcome revenue to us most years so it would be cruel to begrudge them now.
I shall just keep out of the way and stroll along the beach at dinner time when they all go indoors and I do hope they have a lovely holiday. Be safe every one.
