I think 'normal' will need to be phased in bit by bit. The 'clarification' issued yesterday to police officers about what is and is not permissible, contained relaxations, the clear, and generous interpretation of how far we can drive to take exercise. DH and I will now be driving 5 miles tomorrow to take a walk on The Ridgeway, a change from all the village footpaths. The acceptance that people can sit on a bench and even have a picnic, as long as proper distance is kept.
I think the next thing would be to open tips. Control access, as with supermarkets, tips vary in design, but in ours to put a cone in every other parking place to stop getting too close would work. Perhaps only one type of rubbish dumped at one time: garden waste or wood, or landfill, to stop people wandering around from skip to skip.
National Trust, English Heritage could start to open parks and gardens on a case by case basis and with out any announcement, so that people drift back to them, first locals and only make an announcement when all are open - and of course shut individual open spaces if a problem ensues.
The one everyone wants open - Garden Centres - may have to wait because it would be very difficult to control access when they are likely to be mobbed by potential shoppers desparate to get springplanting.

Recommendations please, for a stopover on the way to Loch Tay
