Another trip to Shaldon for me and daughter (Monday’s are a day she doesn’t go to nursery and I don’t work). Saw a large group of people aged 55-80 meeting up. Sat apart but nearer 12 of them – not 6! Clearly breaking ‘the rules’. Saw two older ladies in the car park arrive and one said to the other shall we do a virtual hug and the other strode up to her and said no let’s have a proper one. Seems people of all ages and walks of life are ignoring the rules whilst we haven’t seen any family (save for my sister for one hour in the garden sat at distance). Daughter is desperate to see grandparents and vice versa!
