Hetty You’re right of course, but I was disappointed. We, like thousands of others, have cancelled two planned holidays this year, one to Skiathos in June, and another with our daughter and her family, to EuroDisney and driving down to the Black Forest area with them. I absolutely understand that we are not unique in having to cancel holidays, nor are we as retired people, going to become unemployed, as many others unfortunately will. But I do think it’s natural to feel able to plan something nice, and as Brittany seemed a fairly safe destination, we thought a week or so in a cottage would have made a pleasant change. We would have been taking our custom to the area, we were planning to be fairly isolated, and we had decided we would not eat in restaurants or cafes, but cook for ourselves.
Of course I accept your apology Carillion I understand that you do not wish to have Covid19 brought to the area you live in, but I doubt that the community around you is any more caring than many other communities the world over, during this terrible pandemic. Many Gransnetters have given testimony to the kindness of their communities during this difficult time. None of us are in the first flush of youth, and I doubt many, if any of us have been on crowded beaches, partaking in marches and demonstrations, or engaging in careless behaviour over the last few months. Most of us battened down the hatches and got on with lockdown, just the same as you did.
