Boby Brno Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Cancelled a family bbq tonight due to ongoing coronavirus issues. Finished early so I could at least enjoy the sun in the garden for what could be the only day of summer. Sat here under grey sky’s with a glass of wine counting raindrops. At least it’s warm.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2020 Spoke too soon. Huge thunder storm area just to the west and a few strikes near by. Might miss it, might not. Leccy went off for a while a few minutes back. Food cooked fortunately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they’ll have the pitchforks out soon enough to chase you back over the border. You timed it right to have already travelled north, at least.

If we all did one, they'd be skint as all the businesses would struggle. Three cottages where I am; us in one, couple from Stockport in another, and a family from Derbyshire in the other. In fairness, not been a hint of the pitchfork brigade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether they’d have cancelled your booking had you only been travelling up in the next few days, but the MEN article certainly intimated that way. The Derbyshire family would be fine though, of course 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a decent fist of it but it’s heavily Covid compliant in and around the city and quite a few places are still to re-open tbf and @birch-chorley will be able to testify to that effect. Nonetheless she will have a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you on that. Mrs wanted to drive to Wales last year for a week. the week before the weather forecast changed from sunny to overcast to raining to sunny to overcast, I said Bollocks to driving stuck in traffic with unknown weather. Went to south of France for 5 days in blissful sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
