"We have toured length and breadth of UK, never received anything other than a very warm welcome anywhere, you just give the respect and understanding to others that you would hope to be given in your home area"

although i do tend to agree with you TDA, we did visit 2 villages in Devon Sept 2020 where the local shops had signs in the window stating "locals only" , but we are returning to the same area same site for a month this coming Sept, so we will not hold them to task.laughing

We who live in rural areas, with less NHS facilities etc. feel very vulnerable during this pandemic. We see on the news  multiple incidents of law breaking by large numbers ignoring the  rules and putting us at risk. When it is safe and the rules permit there will be a welcome to everyone. No one wants a lifting too soon and then we go back to lockdown again.

Fish, I live in a Hamlet of 35 dwellings. I see the onus on me to keep away from the visitors. The whole area is a shooters paradise, the lanes are constantly clogged with 4x4’s most weekends the banging of multiple Guns. There’s no vulnerability on my part-I just stay away from them. The shooters have been here during the pandemic too🤷🏻‍♂️. Bikers are pedalling thru in their groups, they stop on the green to fuel up. Life goes on, me & mine are safe👍🏻🙂

I can fully agree with the last sentence.

The rest should be prefaced with “I” and not “we”.

When the rules permit there may still be some who do not feel safe.
