What irks the most is for the first time in ages we have whole bunch of BM camping sessions in the diary... and then along comes covid19. I'm still up for camping provided the sites are open. But I'll most likely sit outside the pub rather than sit in a crowded bar. Cafes ditto. I'll take a stick to poke you away if you get too close plague doctor style (they actually weren't that far off the mark when you think about it). Fuel might be a cash card thing and leave my gloves on to avoid others folks virulent diseases. Provided the village idiots have stopped stocking up on laxatives (to justify all the bog rolls) the shops should be comfortably restocked. Keep calm. Carry on. Illegitimi non carborundum. It not armageddon, its just a nasty virus. And not a patch on the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, that was a proper bastard!
Today the government advised against all but essential travel. They did not elaborate but many counties in Europe have banned all travel apart from work and food shopping and, although I hate to contemplate it, it may well be the rule here too soon and, I think, would include weekends away under canvas. Let's hope not but this may come to pass.
They've just cancelled the simmer dim in shetlands 😭😭 MAG have said they'll still go ahead but I think they'll get cancelled aswell 😕 😢 I'm hoping the breighton ferry will stay open as its off the beaten track. I can see nearly every outdoor activity being cancelled and probably going for a spin on the bike too 😢
Going for a spin on the bike is probably a good way of blasting bugs to blazes as any..recommended...liberal dosages of JD once home should be a wise move too...:)>
Most events are being cancelled due to the Public Liability Insurance becoming invalid due to the Governments Advice. So be warned if you do decide to attend an event with a ticket price.
@ Smiler 🤞👍🍺 Let's all stay strong and we'll get there. Can taste it already. Looking forward to the human contact again and none of this horrible Isolation and fear ☹️😠.

Ah yes, happy days Jinx. Me wearing me Plague Doctor outfit, you pushing that cart chanting 'bring out yer dead', Lindsay with her cross and bell - I can still hear her dulcet cry of 'unclean, unclean' interspersed with a ding of her bell.
I was disappointed I'd not be going to Stafford so not to bad for me it being canceled, there's always the one at the end of the year if we're clear of the virus by then
