Staying at Home!

It would be wrong to say that I am fed up. I am not. I am fine most of the time...I talk to old friends , I meet new ones...life goes on in this small corner of the world. I am told that Cornwall is fully booked up this summer. So its an ill wind that blows no one any good. I do understand why people want to come here...before I lived here visiting several times a year was the best possible holiday I could think of. Me and the children arrived at the beginning of the long summer break and only went home a day before school started.... so I have sympathy for everyone intent on finding a safe place to visit. But they are regarded with huge suspicion by many locals. Often in the summer I have been very glad of the packed churches which were a by product of the visitors. Especially the number of sailors who turned up for the eight am service wanting a good start to a day spent at sea. It is all different now I am afraid. But the shops are busy as are the pubs I am told. I tend to stay put here at home. It is safer this way. But people do drop by. I am usually glad to see them but get alarmed if they start coughing too often. So I go day by day...glad to see old friends but relieved to have quiet days spent alone in safety! Horror stories reach me of entire hotels going down with the virus. My decision to stay put seems to be working fine for me.....so far! But I have never seen so much television in my life! A whole new world is opening up for me!
