On the basis that I've had the vaccine, the supermarket and garden centre are open. Haven't actually bee in a supermarket for a year and the garden centre since September. I'm really thinking that I've had enough now.

I have not been vaccinated as our doctors are waiting for vaccine. I'm 62
I try to go to local co-op as little as possible. About once a week. Been to a supermarket on Wednesday last week for the first time since November.
I only go out if I need to, not just because I want to.
I would like to go for a big shop at Costco but it's 60 miles away, so seems too far in a lockdown.

In my area the incidence of COVID is 35 in 100,000, with just 48 cases last week. Vaccinated and taking care, you would have to work very very hard to to catch the virus, especially as the majority of the population live in the local city and we live in the rural hinterland.

We’re more than four times that MOnica ? and rising.
