Covid Madness -

We have learned not to focus on anything so far ahead to be honest. Just enjoy being as spontaneous as we can, today is hospital visit day (only twice a year now) but we shall turn it into a drive out, a nice picnic and walk, head back into City centre (ugh) then back out into the sticks and home. Might even dice with the virus and pop into an M&S for a throw in oven meal tonight😂 Small treats.
Had to laugh, apparently folks in SY cannot meet up in groups of more than six to go to the beach.......good luck with that one! I think nearest is around 40 miles away. But we do have nice woodlands, rural walks, water based walks.

Dan Jarvis is a good man, well liked and trusted. There’s grit in abundance here, this area has weathered hardship for the last forty years and not rolled over, but the quality running our local councils, police force etc......has left a lot to be desired, and has been an issue. They do need to step up now, and work for everyone, not selected sections of the community. Far too much of our resources is targeted at a few, to the detriment of the many, and it’s time to take the gloves off, talk tough to the few and show the many that they can have a share. You have to live here to fully understand that, but it’s part of what is driving up cases here, some are literally getting away with whatever they want to do. We get lots of emails and rhetoric from local police, but it’s a force seriously short of boots on the beat, and wheels on the road.
Thankfully, we don’t personally live in the middle of it, and like you, know other generations have had far worse, and far less.😁

They were the only ones delivering in May, so tried a box of Steak and some Veggie for my wife, really good so having another delivery today.
<PASTY LINK> made in Polperro. As an example, order say a Monday, made on a Tuesday and delivered on the Wednesday. Arrives already cooked, ready to heat in oven or to be frozen.

It's not them that I am concerned about but the others they may well meet and pass the virus onto those people, dt.
The best advice then is to mask up, keep your distance and if you can’t keep your distance stay away. Because you don’t have a clue who might or might not have it0 -
Done a bit of searching, both Philps and Warrens doing deliveries🤩 now. That might just be a birthday present for someone not too far away! Too many years since I last tasted either of those.
One huge bonus of this horrible situation is just how quickly and well some small businesses have adapted and adopted new technology.
Thanks for that👍

Fair point, I reckon they do flirt quite heavily with the trades description act🤣🤣

I certainly don't see 2020 as a lost year or in any way a wasted year. Things have been very different but loved ones are still here, we see them, we have our health and 'wealth' and really those things matter far, far, more to me more than trips away from home.
I've rediscovered cycling and was amazed to see I've covered just over 3000 miles since all this began. So in fact trips have become more local and certainly slower but just as enjoyable, especially when you look into the local history of places.
Yes my calendar this year will have more local views.

Silly Boy !! They are wonderful if allowed to age well & you coat 'em with quality creosote -- make super wonderful blocks for under the caravan legs !! Almost totally indestructible
ADP, I've never tried " Lizard sausage rolls " what do they taste like please

reduces the number of people milling about in town centres etc, anything that keeps people apart has to be a good thing, especially as in a lot of areas people have become complacent and social distancing does not appear to be on the agenda for some.

Not sure David just how much that was a problem in many parts of UK or in Wales where I live. Prior to this we were locked down to Flintshire. Shops that I have passed in our nearest large town have not seemed that busy. Not at all clear where the major problems lie.
It does seem to me that a lockdown should be a matter for emergency discussion in Parliament rather than just the cabinet. It is seeming more like a smaller group having a cunning plan.

That’ll do for me HD👍 I know the quality of the pasties, just wondered if they were good to freeze. Thanks.

I can think of some shops in our town that definitely need shutting down😡 I had to use one last week, small independent supermarket on a none too salubrious Estate. The shop was doing its best, but frankly the clientele needed a damn good sorting. Hence why our rates have shot up.......can’t be bothered, too thick to understand or too self important to follow guidance sums the clientele succinctly. The poor shop assistant nearly dropped through the floor when I said hello and thank you. 🙄

We had the same thing in one of the shops whilst away. Mrs.WN said the girl behind the counter nearly cried and said it was her birthday. These people are human beings doing a difficult job in very trying times.
Why do some people think rudeness is perfectly acceptable and it seems to be a default setting for a lot of them?

You ask where all these day trippers come from? well they are normal people who are sick and tired of being told what we can and can not do, you are going away in your caravan so you will be a visitor somewhere just like the people in Whitby, what makes you any different. We will be away next week in Leek and will not be sat in our van , we will be out and about do you expect everyone to stay away from the North yorkshire moors so you can have your caravan holiday? I think not, so dont judge others for trying to be as normal as possible.
