One of the best gardeners I ever knew was illiterate. She used to come in to work with armfuls of fruit and veg in season and give it away to her workmates.
Roads gridlocked in Cornwall yesterday, car pars closed so they parked and blocked the roads, traffic wardens ran out of tickets, people sunbathing on the beaches, we’ve been so good down here keeping almost virus free, now it’s going to spread like wild fire, speaking of which, everyone out on Dartmoor, won’t be long before that’s set in fire, it’s so dry.
My son’s GOV letter runs out next week, he thinks his boss will expect him back at work, he’s dreading it with the roads packed with holiday makers from cities, ok whilst they keep moving but if there’s any sort of accident and he’s got to get out of his van, could prove fatal.
We’re not to worry though because now they’ve got the hospital beds, we’ll all be assured of a place in hospital. 😱😢

I saw the hoaching roads on the news @Lyn - Devon and Cornwall. Cumbria police were apparently turning back about 100 car loads from trying to get in here. Sunbathers over on the east side too- despite the fact we are under different guidance, until probably next week. Always the idiots who ignore it all. With you on the fires too. We've already had a lot up here because we had the driest April on record. An inevitable consequence of the careless, barbecuing brigade.
There was some idiots 'tombstoning' recently as well @Dovefromabove. Cut off by the tide. I bet I know what advice coastguards feel like giving these types....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The roads chaos in tourist hotspots can be blamed fair and square on Boris and his cabinet. There is no logic in totally removing travel restrictions, as the end result should have been obvious to a deaf, dumb and blind man - even if he was preoccupied playing pinball.
Don't bother coming to Wales; the hotels, pubs, cafes, restaurants, piers, tourist information offices, libraries, public toilets and most tourist attractions are still closed.
When I come to Wales it will be to stay with my sister, but we're leaving it a while. Maybe in the late summer/autumn, depending on how things go, or maybe not until next year. We like a tea shop visit or 3, and Bodnant Gardens, as well as some walking (away from the main hotspots).

Police should impound the cars of the muppets who still think it's OK to drive in, or into, Wales.

“North Norfolk Coastguards have been called out more than 30 times in the past two days” 🤯🤬
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
