We are ploughing on and in a strange way taking the opportunity to do nothing at all and not feel guilty about it .... if that makes sense. Looking at that beautiful photo of the rainbow reminds me of Wales - just beautiful. For some reason I have a sudden urge to research hotels in Lake Garda - shame no one does a cruise and stay in the the Italian Lakes I have seen in the past some of the online cruise specialists offering cruise and stay holidays with venice sailings and Lake Gearda stays. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few posts from your voyage would be much appreciated. Great drive down, arrived 11:30am, delay parking & son’s pre-booked PCR test hasn’t been verified so he’s had to take another. Now waiting for the result, hopefully not much longer. Could be worse, the queue for LTF’s is now huge. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted April 2, 2022 #33403 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Another cold day, temp around 5C with a wind chill on top of that, not a day for doing odd jobs in the garden. The greenhouse was warm at 25C, the insulation doing its job. Set up the capillary water trays for the seed trays so will be watered whilst we are away at the end of next week. Did a few other cleaning up jobs whilst in there. Came in for a tea break, went out and lawn was covered with pigeon feathers, either we have a streaking wood pigeon or one of the local Sparrowhawks paid a visit during tea break. That’s the 3rd pigeon in the last 3 weeks, you would think by now they would stay out of our garden and go next door but one where there is at least some tree cover. Then again they are a bit dumb they sit on top of the bird feeders which are enclosed in squirrel proof cages try to work out how to get at seed, they still haven’t learned that they can’t access after 5 years. Another P&O mail shot this morning in the form of a card, 3rd mail shot this week, we are sticking to our plan of not cruising until 2024, after seeing the LFT queues at Southampton think it was right decision, no LFT needed to get into Wales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However on Thursday we started getting cold symptoms, which didn't really surprise us as most of the people on the bus were coughing. The bus was full as was the hotel so we had said we would be amazed if we didn't get covid. We usually go and see MiL on Saturday who is in a care home, we said we wouldn't go anyway regardless of our test result. So with some trepidation took the tests, mine shot up to the letter C as usual and the red line appeared, nothing on the T line. Logged into the NHS site to log the results and as Mrs YP was reading out the ref number she said I had a faint line appearing on T which darkened after a few more minutes, any way we both have covid so looks like a quiet week at home. We both felt better this morning so hopefully just mild cold symptoms, mine isn't really much worse than the side effect of the first jab. The up side is that we will build up some natural immunity which will hopefully protect us through the summer. Apart from that we had a great holiday. Sorry to hear your news. Hope you have mild symptoms and recover quickly. We have just travelled from Leeds to London on the train, girl in front of us coughing lots so we moved seats.

To be honest we thought it was a cold but today it feels like a really bad one and we are not taking it for granted. Looking back and thinking of others, if this feeling like a very bad cold is as bad as it gets we will be grateful. Someone had suggested we travel over the border to our caravan to hibernate there but that didn't feel right so we are staying home. The cat is more than happy. Looks like a very lazy weekend from us then ... just hope we don't get the energy to check the holiday sites out too much as this could be an expensive 5 day isolation!!!!!! Sorry to hear you and Mr Presto have tested positive. I hope that you recover quickly then you can recuperate in your hide-away in Wales. Take care.

Britboys Posted April 2, 2022 #33416 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Was -1 first thing and although largely sunny has remained cold all day. Popped up the A1 this morning to do a food shop at the M&S there as I really fancied a change of food. Hopefully it will be the last time I drive 12 miles to M&S as our new one on one of our retail parks opens at the end of the month. Had lunch and watched the early game of footy on TV and then popped out to the local Majestic to do a wine shop. They had some good bargains today. Hope Damian and family don't have too long a wait in that hideous queue outside the Ocean Terminal. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
