DeeGee Jul 2021 1:53pm, 26 Jul 2021 21,141 posts	0 DeeGee I used to organise tours for Japanese coach parties. Got to know almost everyone with a minibus within a short drive of Hawkshead, because you can't get a full size bus up to Near Sawrey for a visit to Hill Top.

Managed to get an online shopping slot for Wednesday morning so we'll have food and essentials, eg cat food!

A few days later it's like he's just seeing off a bad cold, hoping your experience will be no tougher. I feel it might have been much worse if he hadn't had both jabs! Registering the result on T&T made him cross enough to perk right up: maybe that's the intention... I had a neg PCR yesterday and my 10 days are up at midnight, so back to work I go
