Dovefromabove said: I agree ... but should I email an order to a farm shop, drive 5 miles to collect it where they’ll put it straight into the boot of my car and I can drive home again without having got out of the car or even speaking to anyone ... thus putting no one at risk?
Yes you should. There's nothing in the rules that stipulates you shouldn't. People who say you shouldn't are basing that on their *interpretation* of the rules. The rules do not say you must go to the nearest grocers, if that was the case, they would say so explicitly. The rules are not so specific that they preclude common sense decisions such as you describe.

Our local farm shop is delivery is free up to a 10 mile radius, it is so expensive though and as much as I would like to support them , I couldn’t justify those prices. The cheapest cut of beef they sell is brisket and it cost £9.00 for the smallest piece, I don’t spend that much in a week on meat.
The good news is that my son has just received his letter, he was on the verge of going back to work as they are so stretched with people ordering all sorts! They have medical supplies to deliver and he was feeling guilty that he wasn’t there. Thank goodness the letter had arrived.

Niece is being operated on tonight - diagnosis is a cyst between ovaries but it's a case of needing to look and see, apparently. Because the staffare so stretched, it's unlikely we'll be able to find out how things went until tomorrow morning. Watching 'Secret Universe' about the internal workings of cells when attacked by virii to (sort of) keep my mind off it. It's BBC at their best.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
He is lucky to get a letter, as I dont know if anyone else has noticed but alot of conditions that were stated in week one as vunerable, have now been taken off the list and no longer have protection .

Hello @BenCotto - hope your wife is okay.
Good luck to your niece BobtheGardener, and to all concerned for the health of loved ones in these troubled times.
