I wouldn't go there to shop though. I'd have to carry any new purchases home (and wear a mask). Plenty of access to shops in London.

RUBBISH!

Why can't people take their stuff home if the Council haven't provided enough bins  >:(.  Some people have more money than sense, leaving re-useable items behind ........... it's easy enough to take a couple of extra bags/sacks in which to put rubbish in to be disposed of at home. 

Add to that, crowds celebrating a football club's achievements: the photos on the News showing rubbish is disgusting!  I could rant for hours about this!!

Know of someone who went to Spain a few days ago, the plane was only a 1/3 full.

Me too shady. Feel a bit better this morning.
I'm wondering whether the trip to the doctors got to me subconsciously yesterday and started it off. 🤷‍♀️ First time I've been there since all this started. Had to queue outside, then when they let me in, had to sit on my own and wipe down the chair that I'd been sitting in afterwards. Then had to find my way out around the back of the building. All with a mask on, which felt uncomfortable at the end.
Hats off to people who have to wear them all day/ night long. Not sure I could.

Have a good break, you'll enjoy it. 😊

What an absolute shambles!  You can go to the Canaries but need to quaratine then  you cant go at all, but if you do go you need to quaratine, all decided within hours. We had nearly 2 weeks notice just to wear a face mask and most people had already made that decision anyway, why wait another 2 weeks, it was a mask....
Lanzarote is probably the safest place in Europe and has been Covid free for weeks. Ryanair are not cancelling their flights and have said business as usual so no refund. Although we can change dates, but the new trip has to be taken before 31st Dec 2020, not an option, so we're going! 
My family had 2 holidays cancelled this year and had refund vouchers that have now paid towards this one, cant afford to loose all that money for flights and then the cost of the villa. We will have to deal with the work/quarantine situation when we get back or hope it will change in the next 4 weeks.
We're key workers and have not had a break since Christmas, the thought of not going now is devastating.
