Wear a mask, wash your hands and sing happy birthday twice.....not necessarily all at the same time and you will be fine.
Although we get regular Ocado deliveries I do go to the nearby Co-Op daily for fresh fruit, veg, herbs and flowers and have done so for the past year. I’m really not sure how people manage without doing this.
Yesterday I went to the garden centre for seeds and compost and this morning collected a new TV from Curry’s at a nearby town. I wear a mask and wash my hands on return. So far I haven’t as much as sneezed all year.
I suspect that people are feeling that having had the vaccine and the numbers of infections are very low where I live that life for them can start to get back to some semblance of normal. If not what’s the point of the vaccine?
I walked through my small town yesterday on my way back from a hike and it was like a carnival. Each restaurant, and there are several, had put a stall outside on the pedestrian cobbled street, the cafes were doing coffee and the pubs take away Sunday dinners. Buskers were performing in the square and people sitting on benches eating and socialising. The town is full of groups of cyclists stopping off for lunch. If the few other non food shops were open one wouldn’t know that there was anything wrong.
With the amazing progress with the vaccine we should be accelerating coming out of lockdown and getting on with our lives. We should be allowed to make our own risk assessments. So much damage has been done to society and individuals in terms of physical and emotional/mental health.
So it begins….. Streeting resigns
