Well said Jerry, and thank you and the other moderators for all your efforts. Xx
Hi Spinner1916, and we've been very glad to have you here among us. I think we've done a pretty good job of supporting each other and looking back now at how scared we all were earlier in the year I think we've come a long way.
You are a very good and supportive member yourself who makes great positive posts and I'm sure really help to keep up other people's spirits.... certainly mine! 🙏👍😊💖

I live in what would otherwise be a quiet rural area. Right now it is flooded with staycationers who apparently think that the Covid 19 rules do not apply here. They do.
Just yesterday, while I was out walking, a hiker and his wife in a hurry brushed passed me. I was furious. I longed to tell him how the 2 m social distancing is the law here in Wales. Being British, however, I said nothing. There are too many normally-dressed crazies out there for me to wish to take a chance.
I know from posts on Facebook that I am not alone in having negative experiences. One shop has a sign on its door reading "Two customers only at a time." A family of seven came in. When the shop assistant reminded them of the rule, the father said, "It's okay, we're in a bubble." The assistant told him that the rule was for her own safety as well as his.
To conclude: This group has been a tremendous support for me while I have been shielding. I have been disappointed at the actions of others now that I am allowed out as long as I social distance. I thus hope the group continues. I for one, given yesterday's experience, will be continuing to shield, made a prisoner in my own home by the actions of others.
Other than work and groceries I rarely go out. I spend most of my time in my garden or working on designs for clients. A group of 4 of us from work did get to go to a field trial at an grower which was outside. These women are like family and we’re together everyday. But strangers no I still am not comfortable with. I talk to my neighbors from a distance and we’re friendly but still careful. I’m a bit of an introvert so that helps too😁😁
So am I Spinner1916 and yes it does help a bit - my husband says we have always self-isolated to a certain extent so we were used to it by the time the real thing came round! The trouble with recurrent depression is that you just don’t want to go out or socialise, it’s just all too much effort.
