In 2020 there was an outbreak of 'flu. It started in China, and by March 2020 the WHO labelled it a pandemic.
The UK government's response was to restrict people's activities in an effort to slow the spread of the virus. These policies meant many people, myself included, were unable to go to work.
I decided I should spend some of my spare time writing this journal. There will be no theme to individual entries; just whatever I feel like writing. The images are (with a few obvious exceptions) taken within a half mile radius of our house.

The weather was fine, so we spent much of weekend outdoors. It was interesting to see people's reaction to the "social distancing" we are supposed to be observing. Most kept their distance, but there were a few people who clearly felt it all unnecessary.

Monday was good weather. Hil and I took a walk as a start to the day.
Later that morning I took a trip to the supermarket; my normal Monday shopping day. It was surprisingly busy, but there was loads of fresh food. There was no flour (of any sort), eggs or toilet roll. I guess the panic buying has stopped and now we must wait for the long life products to get re-stocked.

We have settled in to the routine now. A bit of house work, time on the allotment, and an early evening meal.
The shops are OK, so long as you don't want toilet roll or milk. Hil went this morning and managed to get most of the things we need.
