all the leading newspapers today giving a run down on what the "get out of jail" road map will look like, but did not see any specific reference to caravan/camping/mhing sites being opened, it does mention "self catering lets" but that is about as close as it gets, or did i miss something?.

I see the boss of BA this morning claimed that once we have all had the jab we will be safe as there has not been one case [worldwide] of a vaccinated person [who catches the virus] passing it on to another.  [So we are all safe to travel].

Plus it’s a well known fact that bosses of company’s have only ever had employees/customers welfare at the top of their agenda. I’d prefer the science to tell me that ED before I book a flight👍🏻

Our first possible break co-incides with the April/May booster jabs, (no dates for us yet) I would imagine many will be the same and there'll be a lot of chnaged plans if anything does actually go ahead. I also presume there'll be a big tranche of younger people who need to be around for their first jabs.

We hope to get something in during April, got a Club Site booked for a mid week break. Only hour and half away. We will be juggling fitting in three different second jab recalls, hopefully first one before end of March. But it’s why we only have Club Sites booked. That no deposit, cancel up to three days prior is a bonus.

When we booked our first jab we automatically got a date for the second one. This date is the Tuesday of the first week that we should be away, booked late last year.

I straight away got onto the vaccination booking service to ask if our date could be brought forward by about three or four days. "No" was the answer, "there are no appointments available." We were told to have our first jab and then phone again. This we did with the same answer as previously. They said have the second jab  when we returned home. This would make it over thirteen weeks from the first jab. The person at the booking service said that they would have to check with their supervisor if this would be OK. One person said it wasn't but a second said it was, (who is correct?), but in any case no booking slots had been released yet and so phone back again in a couple of weeks or so.

I think we have pretty much resigned ourselves to scrapping the first week and just go away for our second week, that is if Boris says we can go at all. If we do have to cancel the first week I'll let you all know just in case anyone wants a week away in Cornwall on a CL and can't find anywhere with vacancies.

BJ ,will be very worryingly watching the covid rates , in this area the rate per 100.000 seems to have stalled at quite High levels

It would not be a surprise if another "tier" system may well be on the table
