This was the scene in London’s St James’ park just 2 years ago. This amount of social contact is only just about acceptable as with the Covid-19 pandemic, it is recommended that we keep at least a 6 feet distance between us. But video news today suggests that so many of us decided to get out and about in the fresh air that thoroughfares, beaches and parks were crowded in many UK spots, including London parks. [see DM: so much for social distancing]
For as long as I'm well, am posting a pic a day to enhance these times of isolation

Beautiful image….
We’re now under total lockdown and in order to go anywhere we have to carry a permit or send sms [even for dogwalking ;-)] Reason is some people thought it would be smart to go out and mingle, so we’re now under strict circulation measures. Hope that works! 😉
It is about to happen here Marina as so many people ignoring advice – Hera must be wondering why!
Good thing she’s an ‘easy’ pup and doesn’t complain about the long cleaning process whenever we return from our walks! It’s safer to stay home – it really is! I wonder why people don’t see this!
Denial – and the enormity of the problem has taken time to sink in – Hera is a heroine!
Yes! As for Hera… she’s my heroine!!!! 😉
That really is a picture of ‘a host, of golden daffodils’ – no wonder people want to go out and see them. Even up on my hill yesterday there were more people than I have probably seen in the entire 4 years I have lived here. But family groups and we all kept our distance from one another.
Locals in our rural communities are complaining about Londoners turning up to sit the virus out in their second homes and then going out in force!
Cornwall fears influx of second homers
I read that article. It is a worry as local services, especially the NHS could be overwhelmed.
and Northern Italy heading for Southern Italy (where budget cuts closed 40 hospitals)
Why??
short-sighted self preservation?!
