We are now in lockdown here in the UK and have been told we must keep our distance. This is George in the garden doing his bit. The weather here has been wonderful again today and we are taking advantage sitting outside in the sunshine. What a treat it is - never this good when we come down in the summer!! LOL!!
Sadly we are not allowed to go out anywhere apart from one period of exercise a day. We are so close to Clovelly where Ruth and her girls live but we are unable to visit. How sad is that!!
Now I am trying to find out if the cottage I have booked after this one is going to be available. All holidays with English Country cottages have been cancelled but we don't want to cancel as we don't want to go home. Mind you the builder has advised that he has had to shut his business down for the foreseeable future so not even sure if the work on the house will be completed by the time we go home mid June!!
You are juggling so many things right now. Construction here has been stopped (unless an emergency like water leakage) because of the concern that the virus could be brought into our building. It's all very frustrating to us all, and made harder with no end in sight. But I'd rather they keep social distancing in place than put millions of people at risk. Wishing you the best!
@seattlite Yes we are allowed to go out for food shopping and pharmacy. Luckily there is a small post office/General Store in the village and I have been able to get bread and milk from there. Must keep 6ft apart from anyone else.
@taffy Had a text this afternoon telling me my holiday bookings have been cancelled and to rebook them during the next 12 months. I phoned - an hour hanging on with awful music and said I am already here in Devon and cannot go home. They are investigating and getting in touch with the owners and say they will contact me tomorrow. So worrying!! My builders have shut down so not sure when the work will be done!! Finlay still limping!! Keep smiling!! Stay safe!!
@taffy the owners just popped down as they live two houses up in the valley. Such a lovely caring couple . They have told us not to worry we can stay as long as we need to. We will get it sorted I am sure. We cannot go home - no travelling allowed. Such scary times for all of us! Stay safe! Love to you both! Xx
@pamknowler Wonderful! They seem so nice to have let you know. Of course, no one can move into the place when you leave either, so it's a win-win. Relieved!
George is taking this social distancing seriously then. What a shame you have to keep away from Ruth and family.
It must be very stressful for you right now. Hope everything works out.
What a predicament to be in. It will be nice for you to be able to stay where you are until the restrictions are lifted. We are not allowed out unless getting groceries or medication. No walking of dogs allowed. Thankfully we have a garden that we can use to exercise the furries in.
It must be very stressful for you right now. Hope everything works out.
