Sorry to hear about your granddaughter having the virus, Bathsheba …. I hope you have managed to stay clear of it. What a worrying time for you all.

Thanks @summer, @Meg, @Jazzi, @Mups and @Mags. I’ve just been round with a few things they needed - and a new outfit I’d made for my GD. She really didn’t look well, bless her, but she was happy and chatting away at the window to me while I stood well back with a mask on! I just hope my daughter manages not to catch it too, but I guess there’s not much hope of avoiding it really. She feels so bad because she’s only been back at work a week, after having a week off following surgery, and now she’ll have to have another week off with her little one.
@Meg, so your family is going through it too. It’s hard to find anyone now whose family hasn’t been touched by Covid! I don’t blame you sitting outside with a blanket, you just can’t be too careful.
ETA: thanks @Kazz as well - you must have been typing your post at the same time as me!

@Kazz no holiday plans just yet. I am wary of all the fuss going into an overseas holiday. Tests, forms, prices rocketing. I can’t plan anything with my sister as she won’t know till the last minute if she goes on the transplant list, and receives ‘the call’.
When overseas travel is made easier, I might think of something, and of course it all depends on the availability of Holly’s carer.
A lovely sunny but very cold day today.

It’s just a matter of what you are used to really. It would only get down to 12’ here in the middle of winter and well after mid night.
This time of the year (late spring) you would expect temperatures in the mid to high 20s but this year I think we have had only a couple of days like that. Anything below 20’ is cold for me.
This is my daughter camping with me in mid winter (June 2021) when it was about 17’ - and she lives in Canberra! 
Yes Kazz, I hope to make more plans next year. I have to factor in dog care, of course, and the guy has increased both his day and overnight care prices, but yes, I will certainly try. There are plenty of places I would either like to revisit, or try for the first time.
I would still like to get a train down to central London and be a tourist. Go to the West End, see a show maybe. Look at all the tall buildings that have sprung up in my absence. I used to go there all the time, pre Holly, using my free travel card.
