We have now adjusted to Level
1 of Lockdown, which allows us to walk together from the house, shop at any
supermarket, visit bars and meet up to 10 people.
On Monday we move to Level
2. This will allow us to drive to the
start of a walk, sit inside bars and meet up to 15 people. This will effectively end Lockdown, at least
as far as Jan and I are concerned.
From Monday we could start the
walking groups again, providing we kept the numbers down to 15 per walk. We could even end the walk at a local bar.
However we have yet to visit a
bar, let alone meet with 10 people there.
Apart from one shopping trip to Benissa I have not used the car. As “elderly at risk” we are advised to
maintain isolation and avoid any contact.
Despite the above we have had
quite a pleasant week. We walk each
day, but because of the higher temperatures tend to do so early morning. Unfortunately it is too hot to do our
planned recce walks. However it is nice
to be able to have our meals outside and to be able to get out when we
want.
We are very aware of the risks
and the still very high daily deaths and new infections. The official daily stats have come under
attack and are no longer published in the two Facebook sites we rely on for
information. Having relied on these
stats since the start of the crisis it is unsettling not being able to do so
anymore.
As we gradually emerge from
Lockdown the situation is very confusing and we find it easier to remain in our
local area and wait to see how things develop.
We posted our tenth, and last,
lockdown video this week. They were
never intended to be a permanent thing, rather an attempt to keep some sort of
contact with our walking groups. We
would have finished our walks this week anyway for the summer break. So this seemed an appropriate time to stop
the videos. If you would like to see
the latest one you will find it here
This will also be the last
Lockdown blog.
Hopefully we will be able to
resume our normal walk programme in October, and if so details of each walk
will appear here as usual.
We wish all of our friends a
safe and enjoyable summer and hope to see you all again soon.
