Has anyone seen that video of the nurse on the news? I hope people like that despicable woman on the phone at my daughter's work see it and take a good hard look at themselves.

Yes Fairy I've just seen it. Shame on them! I'm visiting an elderly customer and her husband today. They couldn't get milk,soya milk, orange juice eggs bread, fruit and salad. So I'm taking them what I could find after visiting several super markets. Yesterday I did a twenty mile round trip to get dog food for another elderly customer. Please send my love and admiration to your daughter, I have plenty of savage gardening tools in my car if she has any more of those customers!! Take good care x
Cheers @WonkyWomble. I think the woman on the phone which I mentioned yesterday was worse than the one my daughter physically encountered. I'm just writing the thank you card for them just now.
Well done you - helping elderly folk. Unfortunately, there will be many others doing a similar thing, except they'll be using an elderly relative or friend as the excuse to fill trolleys. I don't know how they sleep at night. That nurse doesn't choose who she treats, but those people have a choice when they load stuff into a trolley.....

Good of you to thank them with a card Fairy, appreciation always warms the heart! My customer that needed dog food lost her husband to motor neurone in December then her dog a week later. Her family all live abroad and she had just got a new puppy that can only east certain food. She was beside herself with worry! People just need a bit of empathy. Thus has brought out the best and worst in folk. Love the three ladies on BBC news just now. Isolating together!
Morning folks, Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Still waiting to hear if Firstborn's school will be one of those kept open. Secondborn has decided she will not be sending the boys to nursery/school even though teaching is on the list. Gabriel has had a few instances of having been taken into hospital with asthma. I will carry on helping to look after them as they wont be mixing with other children I should be OK. Planning on getting some gardening done this morning and then going for a walk with Bestie.
Life has taken a massive turn since I was last on here, I am sure many of you are also going through difficult times. I am staying positive and hoping for the best but not easy.
I had found a lovely chap and we had long term plans but unfortunately that has ended. I think my strong independent streak was too much for him, I found it very difficult to make myself dependent on him and he saw it as a lack of commitment. Anyway, water under the bridge.
Charlie, now 12 is my absolute star and been a godsend. We have had a fabulous ski holiday just two weeks ago. Unfortunately I became very ill towards the end of the holiday and am still quite ill now. Not good at this moment in time, it's bronchitis, but getting better day by day.
Business was booming and I had plans to extend the tearooms then all of a sudden the dreaded virus hit and we have been forced to close, lay off all the staff and are now confined to barracks as it were. Spending time in the garden, just sitting at the moment, but still scheming. Because of my illness I don't want to cross paths with anyone but at least I have a freezer (or 5) full of cake and English breakfast ingredients, we won't starve. After scrambling around and sorting things out on the internet and by e-mail after 6 days I have finally found time to come on here and check in on you all.
So, apologies for my absence, time flies when you are busy and please do update me on what I might have missed, i think I was last here just before Christmas. I do hope you are all well and staying safe.

Good to hear form you @Dordogne Damsel. Sorry about the new chap but there are men out there who believe in equality in a couple and not dependence. He just needs to grow up.
Get well soon and enjoy your spring in the garden and with Charlie. I imagine when this is over that going out to celebrate and eat out will be top of people's lists so, if you can hang on, your Chateau du Gateau should have a boom. Good luck.

Haha, funnily enough I have just got some out of the freezer for breakfast, they were from last year but look perfectly fine, i shall try not to burn them! Looking forward to hearing your news - soon I hope! xx

Morning all. Hello @Dordogne Damsel, I'm sorry about your chap and having to shut your tea room because of this awful virus. Macron has said he will help small businesses so I hope the state will give you something. I'm stuck in Norfolk, which I am actually happy about, except for my horses, but friends will keep an eye on them. Our flight was cancelled. There may be a flight tomorrow, we have tickets, but OH may not be allowed into France as he's not resident and I don't want to risk catching the virus. We are self isolating. OH has a horrid cold, now at the cough stage, but it isn't dry.
