After feeling more upbeat about our lives recently, we have hit a bump. Although our Daughter lives a short drive away (about 15 minutes) she lives in a different local authority area which will be coming under local lockdown from Tuesday due to a spike in virus cases. The GC have only just gone back to school this week and will be facing more mask wearing already. GS is asthmatic but will be wearing his mask too. To say we are devastated at once more being denied seeing and being close to them is an understatement. The government rules are confusing to say the least. People can still visit pubs, clubs, restaurants, hairdressers, gyms etc but we won't even be able to visit them in their garden?
Once more we will be totally isolated from our family. Sad times.....
Stay safe everyone, wherever in the world you happen to be x
Confusing indeed. Technology seems to be the only way forward to be able to keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed MM....
DeleteThis horrible virus is causing an awful lot of heartache isn't it.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, Cherie, it's so hard for many, many people. Stay well x
DeleteMy mum lives in an area entering lockdown on Tuesday too. Nearly 90 and needing some support I'm not sure what we are going to do yet. I think we will have to continue helping but wear masks. It is all wearisome isn't it, though I refuse to be beat yet!
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn, you and your poor mum. I'm sure you will still be able to help her as she is so vulnerable but it makes life extra difficult when you feel on edge not knowing if you are doing the right thing. Good for you being so positive! This thing is NOT going to beat us all! Stay well my lovely x
DeleteLet's hope so Laurie. If everyone plays by the rules it will help .
ReplyDeleteWe've been in local lockdown for about 6 weeks, and my elder daughter was part of the Greater Manchester lockdown before that...I've seen her twice in the last 6 months. That's been easy compared to my mum being admitted to hospital, not being able to visit, or get proper , coherent information from the nursing staff.My younger daughter is currently in quarantine as a colleague has tested positive after being contacted by track and trace. It's been one thing after another, but I'm trying to live life as normally as I can, whilst doing my utmost to stay safe as cases are rising again where I live after we had made progress.
ReplyDeleteOh Scarlet, how absolutely awful for you and your family. Just when you think there is light at the end of the tunnel something else happened to you. Sending ((hugs)) and hoping all will be well. Stay safe x
DeleteOh, that's too bad. I'm so sorry. Most of the spread here has been from family gatherings. People are taking it home. It's such a shame. I hope that things change and that you can see your daughter soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie, I know there are people much worse off than we are but isolation makes things seem far worse, doesn't it. Stay well my lovely.
DeleteI would say those are definitely confusing rules. I am sorry that you won't be able to see your family. I hope it is just a short lockdown.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Me too, Jackie, no -one seems to know where they stand at the moment. Apparently, we can meet our daughter and family at the pub but can't see them in either our garden or theirs! crazy....
DeleteStay safe x
The rules are so confusing aren't they and just recently they have been changing so quickly. I have just finished organising a small 21st celebration for my grandson and his partner who both have this milestone birthday this year. To be able to do it I had to book two flats here at the Caravan Park one for my grandson, his partner and their toddler and one for my son (his dad) and his partner. But now we wont really be able to all meet up in any of the accommodation or even outside as including my 22 month old great there will be 7 of us.
ReplyDeleteI just hope the rules don't change even more as we are from two different counties too, Cumbria and Lancashire!!
What a disappointment about the party gathering, Sue, it makes very little sense that you can't meet up socially distanced for it. 7 sensible people are hardly a crowd.
