22/12/20 (2) Pepper's Green & The Black Lion

I did make the local walk along to Pepper's Green Lane and back. Not very far, but enough to get rid of the guilt feelings built up over the last few days. Nothing else at the moment.

On the other topic, here's a Facebook post from The Black Lion in High Roding. That's a bit over four miles away in the direction of Dunmow:










"To all of our customers.

Unfortunately we have had an outbreak of COVID-19 here at The Black Lion. We have been notified the dates surrounding the 16- 18/12/20. All staff have been tested and the pub has been deep cleaned, we will be enforcing temperature checks to each customer on arrival. Ultimately, it is now safe for the pub to be reopened.
We thank you all for your support and cooperation during this very difficult time."

No mention of whether it was the original strain or the new one. Either way, it's getting closer...

According to new Government advice for the "extremely vulnerable" (aimed at Tier 4, but as we're only a dozen yards or so away, I'll take it as applying to me) I have to go back to shielding. Don't leave the house except for essential purposes, avoid other people, etc.. Well, that's not all that different from what I've been doing, except that I really should cut out going any distance for exercise. Can we still do Admiral's Park which is on this side of Chelmsford? Strictly, probably not. In practice we probably will, just have to be even more careful about avoiding other people, sanitising everything, and so on.
