Covid Lockdown

I had a good lockdown, apart from the hassle of having to go food shopping and there being so little in the shops, I enjoyed the peace and quiet, the island was so empty of people, all the campervan people had to leave and the caravan sites close. There was so little traffic, people were friendlier to their neighbours. There were a few who were nasty and got on my nerves, I thought I was going to be physically attacked once, because I was giving my dog her off lead training, she ran up to these people and this bloke went mental and got right in my face, he was quite a big muscular bloke too and I wondered if I was going to have to use my long unused martial arts skills to get away from him, I didn't, but it did make me nervous.

Things got bad though when England relaxed its rules before we did in Wales, it was horrible, people were terrible, the police were on the roads leading into Wales, stopping tourists comming, then the tourists started trying to send thier luggage via couriers so they could claim they were just going out. The attitude of those that got here towards locals was awful, we were told that the rules here didn't apply to them as they were English and the rules only applied to Welsh people and residents. It caused so much resentment and an upsurge of people wanting independence.

But on the whole it seems a golden time, even though I did miss the library and garden centres, lol.

I agree people were more friendly. I also remember listening on the news to what was happening in Wales and wishing we lived there as they seemed more cautious.
