Well. Last night we had the fiasco of Boris Johson's address to the nation changing the government's stance on lockdown. The 'stay home' message has gone. If you can't work at home go back to work but don't use public transport and keep social distancing. WHAT! Many people can only get to work by public transport, and what if they have children? Schools and nurseries are closed! Add to that no proper measures have been put in place to ensure that employers look after workers' safety. It's a bloody shambles at best and has caused widespread confusion. It will also cause hundreds, probably thousands more deaths.

Scotland and Wales have opted to retain the lockdown. At least someone has some sense!

I went for a walk down Church Lane again. It's the most interesting part of the village. I took a picture of the Old Rectory and the mural at the village theatre.
