Please don't worry, I am sure the risk was minimal, and the contact will have been so helpful for her.

I forgot too when my friend offered me a lift in her car. It was only when we were driving along that I remembered. That was 4 weeks ago so am safe. I am sure you will be too, but it’s very easily done. Don’t worry.

What's done is done.

She probably stands at more risk than you. You get out and about and have a gd living with you who probably goes out and about too.

Just make sure you get a test if there's the slightest symptoms. Her too.

I wouldn’t worry. I hope your little get together helped you both x

It's very easy to forget the hygiene advice, especially in such circumstances , and I think you can forgive yourself.

My guess is neither you nor your neighbour is much risk as a carrier.

Yesterday after a long walk I saw my neighbour upon my return. She’d just been to pick up her little dog’s ashes with her son. She wanted to show me them so invited me in. She then offered me coffee which I accepted. We sat and chatted for about an hour. It wasn’t until I went back home and my granddaughter who lives with me asked if I’d socially distanced that I realised my mistake. I had completely forgotten about the pandemic, the rules - everything. All along I’ve been so careful to the point of neurosis. How could I have been so foolish. Now I’m worried. I’m 74, my neighbour is 81.
