So is there now a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel for the lockdown. We are now advised that we can travel as a family in a car to further out parks etc for our daily exercise and that you can even meet up with 1 person from anther household as long as you social distance.
So after lunch last Sunday we headed over to Lake Meadows in Billericay for a walk around the lake, a bit of football and frisbee and even an ice-cream. The park was busy, but I have to say everyone was being really good with the social distancing. At times it was hard for Holly as she would go running off and not realise that she was getting closer then 2m to other people. It was absolutely heavenly to get out of Wickford for a couple of hours and have some family time, I think it did us all the world of good. Until this bloody lockdown is over I think we will plan to do something like this most weekends now, but explore different parks each week. Anything to keep some sanity.
The only downside of the trip was that Holly needed a poo and of course because of Covid-19 all the public toilets are closed. So we had to make a portaloo around her using picnic blankets and let he poo down a drain in the car park!!! Desperate times need desperate measures!
