Never heard anything so ridiculous - the world is going mad !!

Until other countries are safe to travel into and there are no quarantine rules here or overseas, we shall be staying in the UK this year visiting family in Cornwall and Norfolk who we havent seen for over a year and, thus, keeping our money in our own country to help kick start the economy. Now ...... next year will hopefully be a lot different and, all being well, overseas travel will be on our agenda.

Yes, I will - but everything has to be done slowly and I dont have a problem with that if its going to help us get back to some sort of normality - roll on June 21st.

I agree totally with your comments Jacacc1210 - lets stop bashing the older person.

Dr Zhivago - there is nothing about this film that doesnt send a tingle down my spine every time I see it .. the storyline, the actors, the stunning scenery. It has everything a film should have and keeps you captivated all the way through.

My arm is ready and waiting ............

So many people look forward to receiving cards, and to sending them out to family and friends, to show they are being thought of , not just at christmas but all year round. They can be kept to remind people of their loved ones, unlike e-cards which -once read - are usually deleted. Me... i love a good card - Christmas, or otherwise..

..... and what about New Years Eve - will people be allowed to party in large groups/gatherings, indoors/ outdoors? I hope not .... a pandemic is a pandemic it doesnt go away just because of festive celebrations. A 3rd lockdown is imminent I'm afraid.

Beautiful aircraft, saw the first one fly into Heathrow over our house in Bedfont (which was under the main flight path). The media were out in force outside our house to witness it - much to mothers annoyance!! First time we flew on it was 1972 and there was a brass plaque in the cabin stating "this aircraft was the largest landmass to (ever) leave the ground"! Flew on this wonderful aircraft many times will always have a soft spot for the Queen of the Skies. Concorde gone, BA 747s gone, 380 going . Sad ......

It would be Ama.....Ama... amazing to win this prize. lol

Thank you Sue, I think I will wait before downloading and then I know I am safe from hackers that may be "lurking in the corners" - lol.

I will, but - and forgive my lack of IT knowledge - but is bluetooth safe if it is on all the time? I certainly wont download if there is a likelihood of hackers accessing my phone. Thank you.

All our brave men and women should be celebrated - we owe them so much.

parents would be fined for not sending their children to school anyway - so lets get them back. We should not let this virus take over our lives more than it has done. All the children we know want to go back.

I think its a good idea - as long as its sterile and safe, why not.

Of course I will - have been having the flu jab for years - even when I wasnt entitled to the free dose at the doctors, I paid for it at Boots. It is there to help us all and I think if it is being offered to a wider range of people it should be taken up.

I agree with Munsterlander - lets keep our high streets and local shops in business.

I am an avid reader, but have not read this authors work, so am keeping my fingers crossed this will soon change .

If boiling water doesn't/cant get rid of the worst of the weeds, then I have to put up my hands to using weed killer on the path/patio. I do use soapy water to eradicate those pesky aphids on roses, beans etc. and salt around plants to deter snails/slugs. Hubby goes one better with hoeing!!

Yes, I will be going to my local shopping centre - armed with my mask and ready for my 2m distancing, which is par for the course now any way. Lets get our economy moving folks.

....followed by a nice cup of coffee, and then we're ready to explore. We know where our priorities lie Grandmazza … lol

I would love to visit any NT property near to where we live. My only concern is that there will not be any toilets or food outlets open -- oh dear! I know you could take your own sandwiches/drinks with you - but we all need to use the toilet, so that is the big concern.

I shall keep my trowel and spade crossed that I am a lucky winner …… lol

How right you are ……...

Not a Kiwi …. but just thought I'd say good morning... from hot and sunny Middlesex, UK.

Rules are rules - there are no excuses!

Billythequiche….. I agree with your comments. Couldnt have said it better myself.

Wouldn't dream of flying anywhere this year BUT I'll be the first one on board with Malaysian in February 2021.....hahaha. The only concern I would have is travel insurance and if the insurance companies intend to cover Coronovirus I am sure either way we will see a rise in airfares and travel insurance.

No, no, no - doesn't bear thinking about. People are sensible and, with guidelines, should be able to make their own decisions and, with social distancing and wearing of masks, be able to venture out again. Or how about testing all over 70s to ensure they are clear of the virus before they can go out- after our brave frontline staff of course.Think of those people, who are on their own, who have no family nearby and now need to get out - after following the current lockdown rules - even for 1/2 days a week - to just see other people, and for their own mental health welfare. There are people with health issues younger than 70, Is this not ageism - protect, but with an amount of freedom?

Cant imagine breakfast without the newspaper.

Would love a pair of Pavers - so keeping my fingers and toes crossed!! hahaha

I agree with everything you said Jane - if its ok for supermarkets why not garden centres - at a safe distance for each customer.

We're going to be so "on trend" …. hahaha

Good morning everyone, I shall keep my fringe "under control" but I do remember those pony tail days of my youth --- so am looking forward to growing my hair . hahaha

Once a week - love getting into a freshly made bed with clean, sweet smelling and crisp bedding. Washed on 60 degree heat and partly ironed.

This is a hard one, from Titanic to Dirty Dancing to Dr Zhivago - all classic favourites of mine .

with those lips, moves and brilliant songs - can only be Mick Jagger.

As we will be travelling some 3 hours to visit my mum, who is 90 and in good health and mind (thank heavens) we shall be having our mothering day lunch - unless the restaurant cancels! She is on her own with no social media, so I would not cancel our visit, she would be devastated.

I am angry and upset at the 4 month suggestion of self isolation for people aged over 70. Why this amount of time when the "norm" is 2 weeks - surely it is a form of discrimination? How are people on their own, with no family nearby; with friends/neighbours of the same age as themselves, and no internet/social media to cope with the loneliness etc? The over 70's can still protect themselves with hand washing, sanitizers etc - the same as everyone else - surely?

Why do people want to change things - James Bond is male as written by Ian Fleming - not female.
