Similar to me then! Walk with dogs and family, do a bit of fishing, always eat well and focus on local produce. Eating out is an issue when in a cottage with hounds as you're not supposed to leave them alone, which I reckon is a bit odd. Really do enjoy sitting out under the stars though- log on the bbq and take it in. Always enjoyed it from being a kid, perhaps its because we don't get good night skies here. Satellites, shooting stars, milky way, and the odd owl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Spider said: it’s necessary though. The UK has done really well, but most other places just haven’t. I certainly don’t want September to be full of stories about plane loads of young folk coming back with Covid. Shit, but has to be caution all the way until every fuckers double dipped with vaccine Don’t think Europe is the main problem, India & Pakistan will drive any variants, don’t think the government will put tight enough rein on those destinations but will punish normally law abiding citizens going to European countries with relatively low rates.

It’s just the fact that European countries may struggle to contain Covid entering from further afield. They need to get vaccines sorted by the end of this year then we can truly get back to normal.

Traf Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Cheers, lads. Guarded optimism is the current state of our industry. As some of you have already alluded to, it won't be quite as simple as going to/from a country on the green list. 1. That country needs to accept you and you'll have criteria to fulfil 2. You might need a PCR test overseas in order to come home. That will cost money and what if you fail? I think July might be more like it.

Every case is different, but based on where & when you were going and with having kids with you etc, I think you did right to err on the side of caution. I'm not into making a commission off mates if the holiday isn't what they really wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
