    We don't have local shops,pubs etc, all are 15 miles away we have to drive no buses, home delivery is very hit & miss, but the shops we use are not to bad, busy but you can get most things, Iceland is then another 5 miles on top of the 15miles and a much more busyer town so we don't go there

      Well, the horror that is this virus came that bit too close to home for me today - one of my staff (also a friend) lost his father last night; he had been taken into hospital following a heart attack and was originally awaiting a triple bypass operation - whilst in hospital, he contracted Covid-19, however that was only mild and once clear of that he was sent home until this whole thing is over and he could have his op. He developed internal bleeding yesterday, and after a two hour wait for an ambulance they arrived, then there was a further fifteen minute wait for them to get full hazmat suits on, and his father was taken to hospital and died soon after.

      So, whilst his death was not caused directly by Coronavirus, it certainly contributed strongly to it. There are no words that will take that sort of pain away, so all I can do now is try and be there for him.

      That folks is why you stay at home - not because you might get it and be a wee bit poorly with it, but because you could pass it on to someone like he was or indeed be one of the number of people going into hospital that have overwhelmed the ambulance service and slowed this man getting to hospital.

          North Wales boys in blue interpretation of allowed exercise:

          "We only had to tell one person that driving to the beach to walk the dog is not acceptable daily exercise if you have to travel for a quarter hour to get there first!"

            That is also what the government has said. Exercise should be done without the need to travel to it.

              Hence why I am doing a 'Meldrew' when all the cars pile into the allotment car park. Social distancing while everyone has already touched the padlock and gate. I'm staying at home unless it's essential - romping around an allotment is a nice way to use up time - but it's not essential. But then - some take a different view.

                I thought you couldn't drive to your plot, only walk or cycyle?

                And that driving was only allowed to get to work which couldn't be done from home, or essential food shopping.

                Have I been been struggling with my wheelbarrow unnecessarily for the last week?

                  In an interview on TV, last week, the minister said it was OK to drive to an allotment as the allotment would be providing food - and exercise.

                      The police have told people no, including disabled allotment holders, they have also told drivers they're not allowed to go shopping for Easter Eggs, but Tesco are still selling them! What a shambles. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-...-easter-eggs?icid=DCHP_C3_EASTER_ZONEPAGE_WK4

                          Once you are at a store you can buy anything you want, including Easter Eggs. The Police in question have been told they were in the wrong.
