I don't know what is wrong with me
I can't get up and go.
I've waited now so long for this
And now I'm free I know.
To visit all those places
That I've come to love so much
Which since this pesky virus
Have been totally out of touch.
Perhaps my ancient body
Has finally reached that stage
Where some things are impossible
Simply because of age.
But I have this little press-gang
That urge me to press on.
So maybe there is just a chance
That I shortly may be gone. (One way or another.)
Cute, Madge / Midge waiting in anticipation for the word....... 
How can you resist Midges pleading eyes. All she wants is a change of view and a ride in the camper. Go forth brave Don and find a nice pleasant field with idyllic views.😀👍🐕
Good morning Mr.D and there's very little chance of you going anywhere other than a trial run, see how you feel, drive in the motorhome with all 3 of your girls. The look on dear Midge's face, as Pantani says, just how could you not go out on a little trip to test the water(not) ? Oh I'm quite excited to think you might well be venturing out. I'm not so brave yet as i cant see my Dad as his Care Home has had it's 1st positive COVID19 result back from a temp staff member. So dad's on lockdown again. So Mr.D. when you are out driving along, may i just pretend I'm there, as i would love to be? 🐿🌈x
Midge is so sweet x
Look at those appealing eyes. You know Midge 🐕 and crew want you to go on a great adventure with them.
It is strange though, now that we're allowed our freedoms, the big wide world suddenly seems a scary place. Setting foot outside feels like being the first person to set foot on the moon, it's become a giant leap and requires a huge amount of self discipline to force oneself out the door.
I'll second that ! Rather disconnected to find I dont much want to go anywhere at the moment.
That should have been disconcerted. And auto correct still doesnt like it! Mind, disconnected fits me too.
I guessed that was what you meant. Gotta love autocorrect. 🙄
Go for it and break out if you are up to it Master Po
You are famous tis known for always being on the go
Avoid the crowds in Manchester for lurgie there does lie
Perhaps a visit to your dear friend Kate to taste her lovely steak and kidney pie. 
Gone as in getting out and about with your press gang Don! Nothing else.......
Love the very sweet picture. Thank you. Xxxx🥰
You keep listening to your little press gang Don (although not today its too hot out) Same time keep well and safe.
I am wondering if along with wipes, gloves, mask / face shield and flask, if I might need to carry my grabber too although that is only about 4ft, I guess if you met someone also with a grabber you could shake hands with it x
PS don't forget to have fully charged phone with you also.
I love the idea of grabber shaking! Haha! Must take mine out too!! It would be useful for poking people reminding them to keep their distance too! xx Moy
yes
my phone gave up the ghost in march and EE cancelled it and kept the £20 couldnt sort it and tried April !st only to be strung along for a joke on the contact line so go out to find one that is not EE/ Trouble is I only want a pay as you go to take out when necessary./
grabber---- Mine would be more use to shake hands than do what it is supposed to do. !
Do let us know how you get on if you try it out. You are braver than me. I seem to have had the stuffing knocked out of me by the isolation. Twinkle sends love to Midge.
I think a lot of us are feeling like that, Littlepom, with the stuffing knocked out of us 🥴😑
Hope you manage to get going, Don xx
I like the idea of the girls press ganging you into heading for the road Don, thats just what you need to get your mojo back x
Can I come ??
Well I’m assuming Don that you did go out in the camper van. I’m sure you couldn’t disappoint Midge. She was clearly up for it. Hope you both enjoyed yourselves. There’s nothing like a change of scene to boost the spirits. I think you are close to the sea are you not? Nothing like a sea breeze on a hot day like today.
Take care and enjoy many more trips out
X
I know how you feel but I went to the coast for a few hours last Sunday, beach almost empty. Walked on the beach and paddled with Jasper.
Take it slowly and avoid crowds if you can and enjoy an adventure with your lovely Midge 🐶
Take care, love Jackie and Jasper xx
Aww bless- lovely photo. I’m sure the girls have missed their adventures so far. Hopefully you will have one soon. I find Staying at home is very depressing. I long to go to the seaside however I’m getting more adventurous in my walks - no longer wearing out the patio or grass 🤣. XAnita
Go for it.
The little beauty! 🌹🙂
Look at that little Face!
Maybe a few day trips to get you back in the swing of it, Don? How can you resist the Press Gang with faces like that? ! xx Moy
You know what you would advise others in a similar situation on the forum to do Don. Take the bull by the horns and go! It will become more and more difficult if you dont take that first step.
Please do it, you will feel all the better for a short trip with that little family of yours.
Xxx
A little concern
My new normal
My little dog family 
A little surprised
