Wondered where you were Mike ...  ...  please don't feel that you have to post a photo to join in  during this awful lockdown. It's good to see you ... i think there are a few  of the members who have had to be shielded  during this pandemic ...I hope you are ok ....

Thanks, on a bit of a downer at the moment, i obeyed the lock down rules but feeling i have been let down by the rush to lift them.

I know what you mean Mike ... a difficult decision as so many people were already ignoring it on beaches ... don’t want to get political 

 here  but if things go in the wrong direction  it can be re introduced and maybe it will show  certain sections of community  not to be complacent .. meanwhile don’t take any risks .. 

Sometimes  easier said than done ... do you shop online for food or have you got someone to shop for you  Mike ?

My stepdaughter does all our shopping, apart from two runs out staying in the car we have not ventured out since a few days before lock down.

We may go out in the morning on our scooters to the cemetery to check on mother in laws grave and take some flowers,we have a rout planned that should not encounter many people and space for us to get out of the way if we do.

It sounds like you have worked out a routine that makes you as safe as possible ... it’s not easy I know ... but the alternative isn’t an option really is it ... we just maybe have to be patient .. to avoid becoming one ...  it’s good to see you back on here anyway, joining in .
Did you see  Stravinsky’s pics of Birmingham?  Amazing seeing streets so empty .... great to get photos of such a rare historic occurrence...  it really does look eerie doesn’t it ?

Nice to see you on the forum Mike.

HI again Mike - the strong colour helps your poppy "pop" and the focus is good and tight.
