Mrs A still commuting daily in to central London, is reporting trains and tubes as full as normal (comes home on trains between 18.00 and 19.00 usually). My work is having a VPN stress test day on Friday, having as many as possible working from home. I'm wondering whether I should get on the train on Saturday to go to the Wales v Scotland rugby match.
Daughter has what appears to be a routine a cold, but I'm waiting for the school to call me to pick her up...

What a difference 4 weeks makes eh?!
Anybody got any holiday ideas/tips for the next few months?
I’ll be spending the Easter weekend at home. 😂

We were supposed to be in Cornwall this and next week. Now staring at Worgate...at the bottom of Worgarden. P.S. Easter 2020 is cancelled

Yes, Saturday was our intended departure date for New York, although the crisis emerged just in time to stop me actually committing any money too it.
Likewise our family summer holiday, which we couldn’t agree on at Christmas and so don’t have to unwind. We do have three nights in Ironbridge in September— in a first-floor apartment that remained above the floodwater when that was the biggest thing to worry about. I’m wondering whether we might try to get to France then instead, if only because it may be our last chance — this government has more than one disaster to preside over.

I think that, unless something happens more quickly than might rightfully be expected, you can knock any idea of foreign travel on the head for at least this year. As/when any intra-country relaxation of the various levels of lockdown happen (and I'm not convinced that any such in the UK is going to encourage widespread internal travel this year), the restrictions that fall last will be those for inter-country travel. No country is going to want to be concerned about importing cases from elsewhere when it is still struggling to maintain a bit of normality by managing cases in its own way in its own population. Everyone will want the easy ability to rapidly impose a repeat lockdown, and not be worried about repatriation in either direction. ...and, when cross-border relaxation does come, it will likely be initially accompanied by the need for 14 days or more quarantine (and probably in both directions), which doesn't make for a good holiday Holidays this year are largely going to be at Stoppertholme, I think.

I think we will have to be grateful when there are some relaxations of the lockdown in the UK allowing us to travel a bit.
I'm due a refund of some sort for a May holiday. I suspect they will push for you to rebook for later or give a voucher. Only I'm not sure there will be date until 2021 when you could possibly consider travel abroad en masse. And will the voucher be worth anything in 12 months.
