Social Isolation
Although the advice from the government is new we have in fact been practicing social isolation for more than twenty years: we live on the outskirts of a small settlement in North West Hampshire (although our postal address is Berkshire) and we have no neighbours for several hundred yards in any direction (in fact the woods we can see from our bedroom window have been there since the Domesday Book and thus have been categorised as Ancient Woodland). The whole area has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it is an amazing place to live.
Over the past few weeks we've been following the news closely and are keen to do everything we can to help mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus. It's good that "celebrities" with large numbers of followers on social media are using the media to spread sound advice and I was interested to see this clip from Arnold Schwarzenneger:
We do not have a donkey, but do have four Shetland ponies, although we do not let them into the house.
Here are the usual suspects:
Puff and Moth enjoying a romantic dinner for two:
Billy trying to outbeast the Beast from the East while Owain stands by the field shelter:
With the sterling help of our four equine friends we hope to get through whatever we have to face over the next few weeks and months. We seem to be well-stocked in terms of food, although I was slightly embarrassed when checking a high shelf in the kitchen to see if we had any oatmeal biscuits to find a pack with a use by date of 2016! Fortunately the birds did not seem to mind when I scattered the biscuits on the lawn the following morning.
