Thanks for the reminders Yodama-I love Simon & Garfunkle. Will go on YouTube and listen to some of their fab music

I think you are absolutely right Ernie you do get what you pay for. We have mainly travelled in Europe and I find Easyjet and BA good. In fact BA is better as there is always a scramble for seats on Easyjet with their priority boarding and they always seem to say to the last passengers they have not got room for their bags in the aircraft cabin but they have to go in the luggage area. Most people do not want to bother with collecting bags as it takes ages. By the looks of it most airlines will have a real problem now anyway. "let the train take the strain" as they used to say!

I suppose it is a variety of reasons Ernie from visiting friends and families (we have them in Portugal) to exploring and also relaxing in guaranteed sunshine in places like Portugal and Spain.

That is a superb photo-how lovely

Lovely-bless it!

So cute!

I always believe that good conquers evil, Lionel. Its been proved time and again through history-in the end good always prevails. It will happen here as well. Scientists will conquer this virus...if you can call a virus evil that is but what it's doing certainly is.

Looks wonderful-normal life hopefully we can get back to it soon!

Perfect full moon!

Very true Molly. We were the same with a box of grapes the other day having not had any for a month. I love your term " A small smile in a desert of doom"-Brilliant! Take care.

Wonderful photo

How lovely-doesn't look like it's in lockdown?

Stunning photo & plumage

Brilliant photo!

Magnificent view! and I love the gull!

We had been going to Portugal in September but that does not look likely at the moment as unless there is a vaccine by then-unlikely-then if you have not had the virus would you want to get on a holiday jet? We booked the flight and hotel separately so can get the money back on the hotel-which we may do soon but I am not sure about the flights as I do not think our insurance would cover us.

That is interesting about Jet2 Holidays. They have got an excellent reputation and this reflects that. I think we may look at them in future as they also have very keen prices.

I cannot believe he is back in government after heading up such a disastrous opposition party. If his brother David had been leading it they would now be the government. Just shows Kier is making his first mistakes surely they have better candidates than Ed?

Brilliant photo & detail!

Great photo

Beautiful Bluebells. They are just starting to come out in our garden with the sunshine

Superb photo

I agree I have always thought the British are too apathetic for rebellion and riots. Rather have a good cuppa or a pint down the pub and moan about the state of the country etc etc. I do think when this is all over we will look a bit more carefully at life and especially invest more in the NHS. At least I hope we learn some lessons!

Absolutely beautiful

Stunning photo & castle

I think people are generally much more friendly than normal. We have a couple of dogs and its interesting as dog walkers generally seem to be on talking terms...just commenting on each others dogs starts conversations.

Our dogs help keep us sane Zippo. Just a 30 minute walk with them makes all the difference, especially in this lovely weather.

Stunning!

Our farm shop is also excellent. It has not got a cafe but at the weekend is always thriving and bursting to the seams.

Funnily enough, we have just phoned one of our local garden centres where we buy hanging baskets every year and they are now delivering which is great. You cannot order from their website just a phone call

Lovely photo

Lovely Kes-bless them!

Lovely

Beautiful and amazing colour

Stunning

Carribelle-I think at least there are a lot of friendly folk on here to chat to and share all our experiences. I am lucky as we have a small garden and my wife and I get on well.(I do what I am told!!!) Our kids are not with us but with their other halves and they are going a bit stir crazy in London flats but at least the weather is decent. It really is living in an incredible situation-never been anything like it and hopefully never again! All the best-Wilf

Hi Nanna, I hope you are well. We are fine at the moment and finding our small garden a blessing and at least the weather is lovely. If it was like a month ago with perpetual rain this really would be unbearable-stay safe!-Wilf
