...and as we come out of lockdown Bradford is in the news, a local lock down 'may' be imposed.
We're going away for 2 nights to try the camping kit out, it's the first chance we've had and now this!

Any chance of fast-forwarding your trip? Trying to get it in before the lockdown is imposed? I'm sure you'll be sensible in your approach so pre-empting the lockdown would be a nice little refresh before hunkering down again....and as we come out of lockdown Bradford is in the news, a local lock down 'may' be imposed.

Hope you do manage to get your trip in.

How bad a thing would that be? Becoming a nomad sounds tempting right now.

Becoming a full time nomad always tempts me, even in Covid times. A pity I can't do it under Dutch law - we have to have a fixed address, and spend a certain amount of time in NL every year for our health insurance and my pension to remain valid.
I hope you get your trip away. Ruby the camper is still suspended for tax purposes, and the school holidays are kicking off, so I think she may stay put until September sadly. Hopefully things will still be OK then so we can actuually use her this year!
Depends on where in Bradford you are as well I suspect. My son's friend in Leicester is not back under lock-down, but friend's in-laws are, he is happy to report .
My cousin lives in Drighlington which counts as Bradford, but I can't see her being locked down. Maybe she can escape to her sister in Slaithwaite! Oh wait, thats Huddersfield, isn't that another problem area?
What's with all these villages written one way and pronounced completely differently anyway?

Nah, Dutch is a very logical language, and remarkably easy to learn, unlike Yorkshire

No camping for me now either, I'm locked down again already, thanks to the idiots around here that never bothered the first time around.

Fortunately we got away in the caravan for a week in Feb. so this year hasn't been a total flop, missed out on a booking for Whitby in April but have two more which will hopefully go ahead, Whitby again in July and back end of Aug. in Lincoln.....both for Steampunk events which have been cancelled but if we get away who cares, we can always do something else. Last year on our week in Lincoln we visited Whisby Nature Reserve, loads of Dragonflies about just sitting round waiting for snapping

Went through the cupboards/wardrobes/cubby holes last month, there were so many cables I was astounded!
Most went into the electric recycle bag for when I next visit a tip, along with 2 DVD players, both dead, a cassette tape player, again dead as well as sundry other 'things'
And there still isn't any more room!
