Good news about the cough. I think the first time doing almost anything since lock down is a bit anxiety provoking.

All the best little nemo. I agree LMH - I went to the supermarket for the first time in 10 weeks. I grilled OH before hand so that I knew where to go for the queue, what to do when I got to the main door and thereafter. I was very relieved that it wasn’t busy and it went well. |

I do fear for a huge spike in London I totally get that what happened in America was horrendous but the size of that protest crowd all so close (same goes for the US really) With so many people so close it's got to be an infection risk |

Thousands of people at the beauty spots in the dales. Can't blame them really, lovely weather, beautiful countryside. But they left scenes of absolute devastation behind. Rubbish everywhere. Wouldn't mind so much if they took their shit home with them. Riverbanks and verges stuffed with crap. If you want to live like f****ng chavs at home, then fine. Everybody should have a mattress, a car engine and soiled nappies in their garden at least once in their lives. But don't bring your shitty, slovenly ways out to nice places. The scenes on the news about the beaches was so depressing. I had little faith in large portions of humanity before, and that has been reinforced with a vengeance. I fear that there is going to be a reckoning, because the virus doesn't discriminate, and doesn't care. Please keep yourselves and your loved ones as safe as you can. This isn't over by a long chalk. |

The photos are truly sad and I cannot believe people think it’s acceptable. We have woods and fell land where I live we’ve had a lot of fires lately it’s devastating. A huge one weekend before last with high winds it’s caused huge damage. The do-gooders tried saying it was ‘natural’ & glass had probably caused it - before 8am on a morning. And even if it was glass is not natural someone left it. |

The Dales looked like carnage  On Friday night we have a cycling club pub night and even though people knew it was going to be like that they were still saying they were going to head up to Bolton Abbey/Burnsall on their rides. We went in the other direction and found some nice quiet places, which was so much nicer! If that is a demonstration of people using their common sense, I'm going to steer clear of them and leave them to it. I just feel for the other people they're affecting. I spoke to my dad yesterday. Apparently my grandmother (in her 90s) wants to get out somewhere so the suggestion is that she comes round to us to see our garden. I think I'll carry on avoiding contact with anyone until that's happened. |

Rosehip
It's not just the honeypots that are suffering litter, I picked up two beer cans and a Lucazade bottle walking across the green just between my house and the first litter bin, about 150 yards (using a dog poo bag as a glove and bag). That was first thing this morning, having done similar last evening with crisp packets and cider bottles. |

um
Rosehip - seems endemic. I filled 3 carrier bags (admittedly on the small side, since it was all I had) with the remains of a 'picnic' just left 50yds from a car park in the New Forest. Polythene & cardboard frinks wrappers, food wrappers & boxes, paper plates, plastic cups etc. If anyone knows who had a picnic with a box of 12 capri-suns, kinder eggs, co-op sausage rolls, 12 cadbury mini rolls and lots of stuff wrapped in tin foil, please let me know. I don't underdstand how anyone can go to the NF, presumably for the views & animals, have a picnic, then just get up & leave all the rubbish. Seperately, on Sat, we did see 2 pairs of ranger truck & fire truck near carparks & hotspots - there to extinguish BBQ's, which some people still seemed to have, despite all the notices and TV warnings. The guidance posted now is to call 999 if any BBQ seen ... police & fire brigade. Grrr. Maybe not covid related, just arses anyway. |
