Yes. But I can't have 4 family at home to socialise ......if I understand correctly.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Right. Next installment.
SiL works for himself and yesterday he came to do a variety of jobs. Rules are laid down.....we pay him at full rate.
Seriously, if I was fit enough, I estimated
2-3 days. He is a real worker and had everything done in 6 hours AND to a high standard.
You may recall I made a veg casserole which (if I may boast) was seriously tasty.
I made enough for 6 people so I could freeze most of it.
So..... daughter and SiL got stuck into it. So much for freezing it. There is enough left for one portion. AND they ate half a crusty loaf between them.
Sounds like my twin grandsons when they descend on us.

So.......can they be in your family bubble or whatever? I am genuinely getting confused with this now.Sounds like my twin grandsons when they descend on us.

I agree that as of today that would no longer be allowed in Scotland but I wasn’t aware it also applied in England.
As I understand it, it does but I am happy to be corrected.

I'm doing this. We had a long discussion last night about what one can do. I'll try and summarise when I've got my head round it.I think it's getting to the stage where people will just decide for themselves what they are willing to risk. God knows how they can police it anyway as you can't even get police to turn up for break ins and minor accidents now.

Not in England unless they live in your house or one lives alone - he can be in your bubble, the other can't!!!!As far as I am concerned Yes

You may be right. I am not too sure that that is the case tho' but will look into this a bit further.

I am perfectly willing to take what is a very minimal risk and go visit my son on the mainland and I have no doubt that would never get detected but my daughter in law is very hot on the rules and regulations. She will probably have it all sussed out anyway so I will consult her on this idea of an extended household put forward by flick of the elbow.I think it's getting to the stage where people will just decide for themselves what they are willing to risk.

Morning all 
Raining here, but forecast to let up an a couple of hours.
We'll be hitching up and towing to Exmoor around 11am.
Regarding all of these 'ere regumalashuns........
We avoid large groups and crowds anyway, so no change there for us.
All of our time away in the van is spent on small CL sites that have a maximum of 5 units allowed and they are generally much more spaced than big sites. We always use our onboard facilities, so there is no risk of using shared ones. It's pretty much self isolation for 4 months of the year.
We spend most of our time in the open air, walking woodlands and archaeological sites, where there is virtually no contact with other people.
OK....we go to pubs a fair bit, but never busy pubs in towns or cities, and pretty much all of them in areas where the Covid numbers are low.
Apart from taking the usual precautions - hand gel, masks etc - we haven't really been affected by any of this.
Personally, I think our risk factor is negligible and I'm not particularly concerned about it.
I've still yet to talk to anyone who has had Covid, or even knows someone who has. The nearest I've got was my neighbours nephew, who said his neighbours workmate's friend, who lives in Torrington, had had it.
I'd class that as hearsay - wouldn't you?

Inclined to agree with all of this. Yes, numbers are going up but the actual percentage per population is still minuscule. How long can we go on living like this as I'm not convinced the vaccine will be forthcoming all that soon. Concentrate on protecting the elderly, vulnerable and those with health conditions and the rest of us can take our chances!Morning all
