London and all it’s boroughs are now in Tier 2 (High Level) which includes Beckenham so our plan to have the boys for a couple of days now can’t happen. This is because one of the restrictions is no mixing of families in the home. Same also with Viv & Steve who had planned to travel down from Derbyshire which is also now in Tier 2. A great shame as Barty House was allowing Viv to visit Mum next Sunday. We just hope that when the restrictions are lifted them will hopefully let her visit then.
At the moment we remain in Tier 1 but the number of Covid cases is rapidly spreading throughout the country. There is a huge call for a full lockdown for a couple of weeks but Boris will not use that one as it penalises low rate areas such as Kent and more so in the West country. Also a lot of differing rules rules which doesn’t help. e.g Liverpool is in Tier 3 and amongst many other restrictions all gym and leisure centres are closed. Today Lancashire goes into Tier 3 but their gyms etc can stay open! Understandably, Liverpudlians are not happy.
Boris is on a role now, if his Tier system doesn’t work then he can always call a general lockdown and if that doesn’t work he can blame the opposition as they are calling for a lockdown. On top of that he has closed the door- almost- on the EU so looks like we are heading towards a no deal, which is what he always wanted! Rule bloody Britannia!! What a mess!
