Like France, we now have to carry a signed form every time we go out stating our reasons for being out of lockdown - buying essential food and medicines, being a key worker commuting to work, etc. Nothing for taking the rubbish down to the communal bins, though. You can only take the dog out for a walk on your own, not with another family member even of you are self-isolating together - think I have maybe met half a dozen people out walking the dogs in nearly four years. Also one person per car to shop for essentials, no cycling, so tough if you don’t drive or can’t walk to the shops. Ours is a very sparsely populated rural pueblo, OH is still breaking the rules and going for a daily cycle as it’s good for her lungs - she has asthma - but with a rucksack to say she is going to the local shop, if challenged. In a week, she hasn’t met anybody, so we are hoping this minor rule-breaking won’t get us into trouble!

@Cheyngel -I would have thought that, as the police won't have to deal with all the usual drunks and wallopers at chucking out time, they could enforce the 'drinking in public' ban instead.... One can only hope. I think the 'youngsters' have massively misunderstood the risk. I suppose because it's mainly been older folk with underlying health issues that have died, that they're then immune in some way @Dovefromabove -they were reporting on the news earlier that the people of Cornwall are asking, politely, that the hordes don't descend. It's hard enough for local folk to get supplies they need without the great unwashed and their weans appearing for an indefinite amount of time. I do feel sorry for them - tourism is a massive part of their income, but it's coming at a very high price this year. It's the same up here. Easter hols is the start of the proper season, but I expect many places will really suffer. I dare say, the population of Skye will be breathing a sigh of relief though. No idiots clogging up the little roads to take selfies....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
