I know it's only something in the paper. However, often these sort of things are leaked to gauge reaction. No indication on what is considered elderly, might we sneak through at 68.😂 If it came to pass it would certainly put the brakes on Autumn touring. I wouldn't think it would do the economy any favours either, as when the schools go back is when the senior generations normally come out to play.

The A303 was jammed with holiday traffic going to the south west today. We were trying to get to Wincanton so made a long detour there and back. Average age of car occupants, twenties, thirties and forties, tucking into the fast food at the services. Much busier than usual (and it's usually very busy!) I presume because many aren't going abroad. Hope they've got somewhere to go. 
Let's hope older people can escape after the crowds have gone home.

I havent been following this thread but have just popped in for a look.
The thread starts with "I know its only something in the paper" etc.
What are these restrictions which apply to the elderly?
We are elderly I suppose and have been shielding since mid March, until last week when we started doing a bit of shopping etc. We abide by all the guidance and laws (in Wales we have some laws which are inforcable). We will be going out for our first camping trip shortly (abroad to England) and will continue to abide by all guidance and laws. We find the whole idea of identifying different groups of people funny - well hysterical to be more precise. Should we all have badges to show our age and medical dispositions?

Great pictures. Beware though you may have a problem closer to home. From the papers it appears that a certain Mr Goldsmith has released wild boars in Dorset. This is the same person that after lobbying cash at Minister Gove's constituency was made a member of DEFRA( Department for Farming and Rural Affairs) board, the very same board who made such an act illegal. Nice to know that Nepotism is rife within our Government.

We had a week at a very nice site near Glastonbury from 25th July. Took a couple of days worth of food, bought some basic local supplies from the site shop (order from the door or click & collect using an App), including eggs from the hens on site, bought additional bread and meat from the baker and butcher in town, used the takeaway options (Fish & chips, wood fired pizza), a couple of lunches out, and generally supported the local economy.
We had a trip to Wells and visited the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace & gardens, lunch outside in the Market Square.
Took a ride on the East Somerset Railway. A compartment booked to ourselves (as with all other visitors), and some tea and very nice cake afterwards.
We had lunch inside a coffee shop in Glastonbury another day (temperature check, hand sanitiser, contact details and a table allocated and separated from other diners), and a visit to Glastonbury Abbey on the final day.
At all times we were socially distanced and I felt completely safe. We have another two trips booked in September and October, further restrictions permitting, and I don’t have any anxieties about going.
Oops! Maybe a bit off topic but, for the record, I’m 60 and happy to be going out and about whilst being sensible.
