Panic buying and empty restaurants becoming the new normal

We had a very pleasant meal for Dave's sister Margaret's birthday, tomorrow it's Dave birthday and we'll be heading home from Hampshire. With reduced numbers of people about in towns and on the road it should work innour favour for filming at least in the short term. The weather outlook for Monday looks to be sunny so hoping to do as intended covering Salisbury and then Bristol. Tuesday similarly sunny in parts I may well cover the trucks at crick, rugby. The hotel in bpcyprus has refused to refund after Cyprus government has banned tourists which seems a very strange attitude which can be reflected on trip adviser. No word back from the London hotel, perhaps such attitudes should be named and shamed. Mandy's trip to Spain is off and it now looks as if most of Europe has gone into lock down. If Britain remains open perhaps we could clean up on tourism and industry. Personally I thought that the UK response was quite considered and now seems to be stampeded by media scaremongering. We shall continue to report on transport implications and the scene as long as we are able. We had a great day with yet more delicious food, we have done very well over our spring stay and with restaurants mostly well empty we never had to struggle for seats. We shall be home Monday teatime and will send out dvd orders Tuesday morning.
