So , let me get this straight.
I'm still not allowed to go and visit my daughter or my mother , but I am allowed to go to work with people from other households , a cynical person would think the economy is more valuable than lives.

You can meet them in a park but stay 2 metres away.

I must admit that in theory that if everyone maintains social distancing then no restrictions are needed.
I only feel I'm at risk in a shop or supermarket.
Out and about I feel safe.
I try to tap into my inner shark and keep moving , whether I'm walking or cycling.

I can exercise more already. Nothing changing otherwise here, nice to be somewhere where there's actual coherence in government output.

It says a lot about the state of our media that France has adopted exactly the same slogan without comment.

But what I'm quite annoyed about here is the whole system of devolution. Why does the First Minister have a veto over lockdown changes, over and above that of the Prime Minister!? Devolution has never worked, especially on a local council level, and now the Welsh FM has effectively created a hard border between England and Wales. This is just ridiculous.

Health policy is devolved to Scotland, and we seem to be a bit more interested in following the evidence, such as it is.
