UK staycation boom predicted

You don't think it might have been leaked to the press lobby by some well meaning advisor so that it could be floated in the papers to gauge public opinion and then the message adjusted accordingly?

Or is that just me being cynical? 

We're the same - we have a cottage booked near Matlock for the first week in May. It's carried over from last year and was chosen to fit in with the annual Irish Setter rescue sponsored walk which is unlikely to take place now anyway. Our first jabs were on Saturday so assuming that's the case for the second one we'll either set off later on the first day or come home early on the last. Since we can't get in till 5pm and have to leave by 10am it won't affect us greatly. Will just be glad to be able to get away! 

Have you been watching re-runs of 'Yes, Minister'?😄

I wouldn't count on it Moulesy, our first jabs  were on a Monday, or second jabs, booked at the time, are on a Tuesday.

Our second jabs were on the first day of our holiday. So Only a little revision was required. Fortunately the first day is now only a short drive from storage to Clumber Park site, rather than 200 miles to Berwick. If I get similar side effects to the first jab, I don’t think I would have managed that.😀

Our surgery are only jabbing on Wednesdays and Saturdays though. If it was the Wednesday we might look to change it, but, whatever, the jabs will take precedence. 

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this mad rush to get away as soon as the starting gate is opened. I know holidays have not been possible for some time, but life is long - especially if approached with caution - the the world away from home does not suddenly become a safer place the minute you get your vaccine.

Not knowing whether OH will react again to the booster we'll probably have to give up our first planned break and stay at home (if and when we hear the dates!) It's slightly inconvenient not knowing the dates but it's a minor issue. 

I some what agree Goldie,

But then when our age group  have been unable to get away most of last year; and still not sure if the lockdown is going to be lifted enough for us too much this year ? We,  as others,  have booked some sites just in case we can,  and with age comes for many health problems.  ,so its a case of do it while we can

Ps and with the expected staycation boom expected to even higher this year we as other I expect now have a tour booked and hopefully without the stress of trying to put one together if and iWhen the cork comes out of the bottle as the DG has said

The older you get the shorter life gets.
