Normandy France |
We went out shopping yesterday (dept 14) all the selves were full even toilet paper in abundance (1 pack of 6 per-person) people respecting the 2 metre distance and no full trollies of provisions. Very civilised... But no swinging going on  |

Was there the initial panic and then quickly settled?
I was in Tesco yesterday lunchtime and many empty shelves. Wine and beer almost gone.
I guess in France no need to worry about lack of wine.
Let’s hope it clears soon. Oh how I’ve taken for granted that I can simply drive to France when it suits me. I have (had?) plans to spend most of the summer cycling through and around France.

Strangest sight was the cardboard found at the bottom of the pallets of water being used as a make shift shield for the checkout staff at our local intermache bless them.

I was walking my dog up the very empty main road this afternoon and a woman came out of her garden to yell at me to go home. I was already 50m away from her and hopefully she got a sore throat because of it. I had an attastation.
Army on border to Spain.
It's in the next town and they've already set up an emergency hospital. |

Went to the intermache local to us and only one person per trolley and the place was empty of people and many shelf’s still empty and all staff were in masks and had gloves on.
Drove for an hour plus to the airport at Limoges and the roads were eerily empty but encountered no police checks at all.
Airport was empty and all in all was just a very strange few hours.

Just been informed by the local mayor that a curfew is being imposed in the village from 2000 to 0500 until the end of the month.
We live in the country looking down over the village so it does not really have an effect on our lives - besides, we usually are indoors by then having dinner.
The reason that the curfew is being imposed is due to people ignoring the rules of self isolation and in a small village, this is difficult to manage.
I guess, with a curfew, anyone outdoors is breaking the law and so easier to stop.
The rules change daily... |

The end of April is likely for the next extension. That will be 6 weeks as recommended by the WHO.
Hopefully, after then, the instances of outbreaks can be contained by local lockdowns.
I doubt if border controls will be lifted for quite some time though as I cannot see France willingly let in people from other countries who may have reacted differently in their approach to this pandemic.
Everything will be constantly reviewed of course and decisions made on evidence and advice but I think that all holidays will be taken in France for the foreseeable future. |

"Yesterday someone we know was nabbed in the Naturiste village on her bicycle without the relevant piece of paper. Picked a 135 euro fine. "
Which begs the question that if she was in the buff where would she put her form!!!!!
