It’s the right decision Maw, too many ifs, buts, whys, and wherefores. In other words, too many risk factors.
We are disappointed about the quarantine for France coming in. Firstly, and mainly my poor daughter and her family were booked to go to a private villa near the Pyrenees. They’ve already cancelled one holiday due to Covid19 and booked this before there was any mention of quarantine. They’re both doctors, have worked extremely hard and many extra hours over the last six months, and they really need a holiday. She is absolutely gutted. They were supposed to be going in one week. They can’t go and just do quarantine, doctors can’t, and the children are starting a new school in September, so they can’t really miss the first two weeks. I’m so sorry for them. They do so need and deserve a holiday and some quality family time.
As for us, we’ve had to cancel two holidays due to Covid19 so thought we’ll pop over to France, use our own car and the ferry, and take a holiday cottage in Normandy, which hasn’t got high R rate, and we could eat at the cottage, only need to visit a supermarket, and just enjoy some walks and quiet sightseeing. Doesn’t look like we’ll go. We could do the quarantine in September when we won’t have childcare, but DH says the insurance will be invalid. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
