Rome holiday – day 2
The vast garderns of Villa d’Este, Tivoli, were amazing with all the flowing water and fountains. Another shot – another fountain.
Senior citizens in Malta have been asked to stay home because of the Coronavirus pandemic. My children have vehemently urged us to stay inside and insisted they will not visit us for the next few days. Schools have closed for a trial period of one week so we will have Max with us while his mum is at work. I was hoping to go trekking in the countryside with Max but to avoid quarrels with them and Christine I am staying home today. I don’t think I will be able to resist going out for more than one day. I will try doing some exercise on a cyclet we have at home and which nobody has used for months.
Thank you very much for your visits, for your comments and for the fav's. I will have more time on the computer today.
We all handle the problem in our own way. I have son in Canada who is concerned for us - being termed, elderly - but we are strong and not anywhere near any danger!
@maggiemae I don't feel old, myself and my wife is over 6 years younger than me, Maggie, but I decided to obey orders for today. The fact is that Malta is overpopulated and there are few places where you can enjoy the outdoors without meeting anyone.
It's biting everywhere now. I am being very selective about where I go and when because I have older family who have other health issues and I absolutely don't want to carry things to them. Living on the edge of London, it's heavily populated. Indoor cycle is a good plan to keep you moving! I have one here - invaluable at such times. I hope you can find somewhere outdoor to wander where fewer people are at some point. Pretty photo - lovely to have photos and memories of beautiful places and the outdoors.
Great photo -- CV19 is a world-wide problem. Older people are more vulnerable especially those with underlying health issue. I'm using common sense but still going for daily walks for the fresh air, grocery shopping. Take care.
Great pov. and an awesome view . Great shot. Fav.
So sorry for you tulips. I do n`t know what went wrong but if those bulbs where saved from last year it`s understandable for me.
We're all trying to make the right choices that give us a balance between getting out and about but not being in a vulnerable place. Our schools closed for two weeks today and we had to cancel our photo club this month but I'd rather cancel and be safe than take a chance. Pretty shot!
This is such a beautiful shot fav. Like everyone mentioned, we're in the same boat so to speak. I'm considered elderly but young at heart and get frustrated when housebound. went shopping today to stock up but most shelves in the stores were empty already.
Stay away from crowds and let's hope they get the virus under control.
Covid 19 is beginning to have a major impact on people's lives. I too find it frustrating not being able to go where I want to.

Stay safe Dione, we are waiting for the next stage in the uk which will be like yours.
