watch David Zinn - amazing pavement artwork that washes away when it rains - worth a look-see as well as reading the confessions article ;-)

A family has been dressing up in creative ways and using props to put together a unique online photo album.

The Skinner family, from Rushden, Northamptonshire, created the first picture as the "kids were a bit bored" during the coronavirus lockdown.

Each image sees their children choose a specific colour which they will all dress up in.

This family has been so inventive !  :-*

Bicester Village re-opens: however:

More than three thousand people have signed a petition calling for Bicester Village to temporarily close after hundreds of people were pictured at the shopping complex.

Pictures on social media appear to show people struggling to maintain social distancing at the designer retail outlet in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

The petition is calling for it to be closed until changes are made.

Value Retail, which runs the complex, has been contacted for comment.

All shops in England are now allowed to open, but with strict safety measures.

Laura Wicks, who launched the petition, wrote she was "disgusted to see hundreds of people squashed into the street like Coronavirus never happened" and called for the complex to keep their staff safe.. The Chinese rush here in droves ......... even though products are 'made in China' it is cheaper when on holiday to buy lots of the same and send them home!

Re-open UK airports  :-\

London City Airport has reopened to the public after it was closed for nearly three months because of Covid-19.

Commercial and private flights stopped operating on 25 March due to travel restrictions and a collapse in demand.

Government agencies and the military have been using the east London airport instead.

On Sunday, the first commercial flight to restart the airport was from the Isle of Man, which landed at about 18:00 BST.

Initially flights will be restricted to those within the UK and Ireland.


I read this on the Isle of Man news not anywhere on the mainland.

Don't go to the beach? despite Boris telling the World and his Wife to go to the North Norfolk Coast, Hunstanton is nice so they tell me  ::). It wouldn't be my 1st choice  :-\

Staying at home suits me fine ;-).  I have shade here and a comfy bed.

Because they need the trade.  I think that many of those visiting UK hot spots probably go abroad .......... but there is NO excuse for the amount of rubbish left behind  :bang: :bang: :bang:  I think that the worst most will catch is sun burn!

When we walk the beaches late at night after the tourists have gone, we find all kinds of expensive stuff: brollies, sun shields, small plastic spades, buckets, rakes : when we began our Summer we would have a kit each and that was it: plus flags to stick in the sand castles, anyone remember those?  We each had a bag so it was each child's responsibility from the age of 5 to pick up our own items and the elder children had to make sure that the youngest had their bags filled.  There were 2 of us of similar age: then my sister 6 years younger; followed by another girl 18 months younger and a boy 18 months younger than her. So a bit spread out and if we added cousins as well as the family of 8 'from the corner'  ;D.  We never lost anything as we knew we wouldn't be given a 2nd set and would not be allowed to share with the others. 

I still wouldn't be going to a beach yet.

Ridiculous isn't it? Too dangerous to send your kids to school or go to work but perfectly safe to join thousands of people on a protest or cram onto a beach. Perhaps it's time to stop the support. If they had to go to work they wouldn't have so much time to behave like d*cks.

I remember going to the beach B4 8.30 a.m. in order to get a place to put the blanket  ;D and even then we would say "Didn't think that there would be this many here today".  But we kept our distances, being English and all that  ::).
