Dave and I embraced the summer holiday that Boris gave us and did our bit to get the economy moving but at the same time we were staying alert and only visiting places where we felt they were taking the safety of their customers seriously. We were always conscious that once the weather started to close in and there was always a chance of a second lockdown, we needed to make the most of our freedom. That said we are always on high alert (and possibly over cautious) but we do get frustrated at the stupidity, lack of awareness or even arrogance of other people who are not following the simple social distancing rules being asked of them.
The Last of the Summer Tour is a charity event which was rescheduled from April and was to be a pared down version of the original. Two weeks ago with the introduction of the Rule of Six, the organisers consulted Thames Valley Police to see if it could still go ahead and subject to a few additional safety protocols, they were given the go ahead. However, last week, with yet more restrictions introduced, the logistics of it became such that it would have been almost pointless to proceed and so it was cancelled, bringing to an end our very limited car season. (As it happens I wasn't well anyway, but that is by the by.) As my friend Karen Strand often says, "it is what it is" and there is no point in getting distressed about things we can't change.
