How long before this is us?

It worries me that France is in total lockdown now. All the parks have closed & even the fit & healthy people are not allowed out for a walk in the fresh air without a cerificate of permission to say it's for health reasons.

How long before we are like this I wonder?

Me too, Muddy, though I only have a small garden now but I can still find plenty to do.

I have just ordered a load of compost and some grit from my local garden centre so I can get cracking on fine days now.

Spare a thought for those who don’t have a garden .I don’t but at least I have some private space to sit out on should the weather in coming months allow .

Anything thought impossible can be done with the right attitude and strength of mind .

Not long, if people don't act sensibly & stop being dickheads.

If people STOPPED GOING OUT AND SOCIALISING it shouldn't happen at all.

I had a facebook post from someone I know who is in the pub drinking with his friends. Can you believe these idiots ?

The lock downs happen when people don't do what the government, the scientists, the NHS, the chiefs of staff say.

A valid safety precaution or just a reason to stop the weekly yellow vest protests?
