SIX weeks into lockdown, we are all getting twitchy. Starting today, open pubs and restaurants, who will only take people who have booked (so they can keep the numbers acceptable to lockdown rules). Garden centres and DIY should have been open all along, same 6ft rules to apply as supermarkets. Also National Trust and English Heritage gardens. Open Bournemouth Airport for flights abroad from mid-June and those who have been tested and are safe can fly.

PS: Has anyone else noticed how well behaved and quiet the children are when playing while out ‘exercising’? And a huge thank you to NHS, care workers, police, fire, and the many supermarket workers.
