Someone on Radio 2 has just called to say she's sitting INSIDE her local cafe enjoying a flat white and watching the world go by Well that's what we've all waited over a year to do eh? Maybe she doesn't have any friends to visit?
Maybe that is exactly the reason she is getting so much pleasure from something as simple as being able to sit in a cafe and watch the world go by.
In a couple of months time people will be slagging off the government for saying they could all have a jolly good party with lots of hugging. Its not compulsory. My daughter and her family have been invited to a football âdoâ.  130 people, landlord at the pub says itâs ok because itâs going to be in the field behind the pub. Shes not going and neither is her boy. According to a previous post on here, those cheap tests only tell you if youâve got COVID, not if youâre a carrier,  so not much good in a crowd.Â

How much has covid changed people's outlooks? I was talking to me old bro' and sis' about post covid mixing, and although none of us are scared or worried by covid per se, none of us feel that urgent urge to mix in general. We want to see each other - fine - but the way it's been talked about in the media it's as though there's this massive human urge to socialise. Maybe we have a sociopathic gene.
These days it seems a person isn't "normal" if they aren't a touchy-feely extrovertđ
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Don't get me wrong, I love people and people are what the world is about - and I hug my immediate family when we meet or part - but - it's not the end of the world if we don't hug. There seems to be this over exaggeration and 'drama' about it all:
In the days when Sarah Raven featured regularly on GW I always used to wonder at her clothes. Huge, full skirts and big heavy coats. How can you dig and plant and weed in all that? Was she modelling herself on Gertrude Jekyll?

Totally unfair. This is how he normally dresses for gardening.Â
