Here's a little poem to celebrate their January anniversary in the longest month ever in the history of the world (shamelessly stolen from elsewhere): Thirty days has September, April, June and November, Unless a leap year is its fate, February has twenty eight, But all the rest have three days more, Excepting January 2021, Which has eleventy thousand and sixty four. From Brian Bilston Poet, a friend some close friends of ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been told up here that we are unlikely to be allowed to travel abroad for leisure purposes throughout 2021, the whole year! Hopefully it will not turn out to be the case but they were fairly adamant about it, don’t book anything. Well jolly good but what happens when you are already booked from before all this started. The prospect of two years stuck at home is not a happy one. I didn’t expect the world to go immediately back to complete normality but I was naive enough to think that with the rollout of the vaccine later this year might be a bit nearer to it. 😕 Well, if that happens, that's The Ole Lady's 60 birthday plans out the window. Not until May, but the tentative plan was to too pop up to see family who can't travel down to us a week or so beforehand, but celebrate the big day at home. Possibly no-one going anywhere then ☹️. Maybe see what PandO says and if there is a restart, take the high cost of 2021 bookings on the chin and celebrate on a cruise. On a serious note, if Scotland does go down this route, I feel very sorry for everyone affected by that decision. It must be very dis-heartening to have the possibility of such a ban hanging over everyone so early. I hope that a way can be found to enable people to travel abroad for leisure for at least half the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that a way can be found to enable people to travel abroad for leisure for at least half the year. They were fairly unequivocal about foreign travel not happening but even hummed and hawed a bit about the prospect of staycations in the very immediate future. I would image some in country travel will be allowed so hopefully by May there should be some loosening up in time for your plans 🤞. The whole situation is just depressing. I just hope we get a decent summer as it has been a very long, very cold winter and there is little hope of flying to the sun, at least not up here anyway. Health before holidays I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted January 28, 2021 #14465 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This is what the BBC report on foreign travel restrictions. You must only travel abroad for essential reasons these are:- Work that cannot be done from home Medical appointments Educational reasons You have to make a declaration of your reason for travelling Increased police presence etc to monitor it so that's foreign hols cancelled for the foreseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with foreign travel is that it drives the spread of new variants of the virus, so to my mind it seems sensible to discourage overseas travel, except for essential reasons. Last year I had booked a coach trip to the Edinburgh Tattoo, which has been moved to this year. I hope it goes ahead as it coincides with our 40th wedding anniversary. It would also be nice if we can get away for a couple of other short breaks. But it not, then we stay at home 🤷♀️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a shame that when we thought there would be some light at the end of the tunnel, there is not. It also begs the question when will things ever get back to some normality as there will always be new variants. I wonder how many holiday companies will make it through another year with no customers and which ones will be lost along the way. A couple of the airlines are already saying they may not make it. We need to be pragmatic and just get on with whatever happens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a choice between setting up home or a honeymoon and the practical side won out. Since the childen have been supporting themselves though, it's been one long honeymoon interspersed with long haul holidays and cruises.
