Question Time

We have to remain hopeful.  Mustn't get down-hearted, must we?

According to the BBC web sight today they reckon the people who have been shielding will begetting Government letters again this week So are we back to square one?:

Could be. It'll be interesting to see what instructions these new letters contain, won't it

I haven't received one, can't always believe what you read can you?

Pete hasn't had one yet either.  Do you think they'll send them out in alphabetical surname order

After watching the evening news I've decided I'm back in isolation.I have been told by GP to go back to the rules for the shielded we had 6months ago Ah well another 6 months It's probably for the best Isn't it?

We can't do much else with cases of Covid19 increasing everywhere can we

They are increasing rapidly this is a warning for us to go back into hibernation I think don't you?

You may be right there. Not much hope for a family Christmas this year is there

Are you now in lockdown Joy?

No, according to the figures we are still well below the national average for new cases. Are you

Sorry i thought you were now in Newcastle. Yes although we come under
Trafford It Is part of Greater Manchester.Hale Cheshire Is where we live rather confusing Isn't It.?

We live in Nottingham Jean, on the western side of the city, in a place called Wollaton, which used to be a village until it was swallowed up some years ago when the city expanded.
 
We used to live in Cheshire in the late 1970's, I remember going shopping in Altrincham, that's very near you, isn't it

It Is Joy about a 15min walk Where in cheshire?

We lived in Holmes Chapel for five years from 1976 until 1981. Do you know it at all

I know of It but can't say I've been Is It a small village type of place?

It's quite a large village now I believe.  We enjoyed living there, it was everything we wanted at the time, good neighbours and friends, some of whom we still see occasionally.  Do you like living in Cheshire

Yes I do, I was born and bred in Timperley village do you know it ? about 2miles from Altrincham in Cheshire

I have never been to Timperley. Both my parents came from Manchester and during the second world war they moved to Worcester, where I was born.
Do you know Worcester at all

I don't know Worcester at all In fact I quite often feel like going back to Timperley where I was born and bred and lived until 11years ago
Is It old age making me yearn for my roots do you think?

I sometimes feel the same Jean, but things have changed a lot since we moved away from Worcester in 1969. Not really surprising after more than 50 years is it

This Is the first year I shall have to do all my Christmas shopping on line I shall miss seeing all the festivities in the shops Have you started your Xmas shopping yet?

I haven't, all this uncertainty is putting me off. How can we know what's going to be possible this Christmas

Perhaps things will improve over the next four weeks and allow us to see our families we can only hope can't we?

Even so, we are still in the extremely vulnerable group. Would it be worth taking the risk
