Wouldn’t like to offer opinion on whether we can afford another lockdown. However, as an indicator of how things are going, I must tell you that our local activity groups are getting worried. The “Poetry Circle” has cancelled everything and the Exercise thru Dance oldies are hanging up the dancing shoes. Must add that we are both well past threescore-and-ten and are regarded as youngsters in village! So this action is taken by the more mature members of village life. Until we can get some sound data on the omicron variant, it seems a sound move to me.
