Lockdown lifting? Oh No! We'll be invaded by Grockles again!

It's been good having quiet roads and no litter!

My biggest problem is where to drive that won't have crowds locally! I might just drive down some country lanes and let the sat nav find its way home...

Oops! Is that the price of petrol going up again that I hear?

A trip north up to Roker beach I think.

Yes indeed. Be careful what you wish for. Filled up all 3 cars 2 weeks ago. Hardly used much fuel. Might top them up before price rises!

Claxheugh Rock pronounced clatch huff if you're from South Hylton or Ford estate in Sunderland or 'Clatchy' as Andy rightly calls it is just up the river Wear past the old cement boat called Cretehawser. Many a nicked car was pushed off the top in the good old days or raced about below it before being torched ! No wonder I moved !

Brimmed mine 8 weeks ago and still brimmed. Been nowhere as per the rules.
When we get out, the distance is limited by how strong the bladder is. No public loos, pubs, cafes or restaurants.
