It seriously fell off this week, totally disappeared, and it took me a good few days to find it but eventually it came back!
So, we went in to level four last week on Thursday, we were all expecting it, no one was surprised. However what came next totally had us all baffled!
They said we can still stay open until midnight. They said we could still have people in doors (50%) and then they said that anyone sitting inside a venue would have to show proof of full vaccination, be it the one dose or the two dose and if they didn't have that then they would have to show proof of a negative test within the last 72 hours. Not good, but this is what we were told and so be it!
I organised all my bookings so that relevant people that had or hadn't been jabbed could be seated, and then the next day the whole thing was flung out of court. The article that came next said that we don't have to close at 12 and we don't need to see Vaccine / PCR certificates. We were all left more than confused!
If this wasn't enough, two hours later another article was released saying that apart from seeing the Vaccine / PCR certificates all the other restrictions were as they were before. Is it any wonder the cheese went haywire this week! I really felt like going with it as did many other folk.
We have really got to a point now where we don't really know where we stand or indeed if we are coming or going!
On the plus side, we are definitely getting busier, more flights are coming in although they are not full, they are coming. It is wonderful to see people arriving and enjoying themselves although there are a select few that seem to be completely oblivious to what has been happening for the last 16 months and although the UK had "Freedom Day" many of our restrictions are still in force.
So this week there is another announcement by BoJo and his people to see what new levels they can come up with this week to keep people from travelling. Red, Green Amber, Amber watch, Green watch, neighbourhood watch I really cant keep up anymore and I think most of us feel the same way!
So we carry on, we try to stick to the ever changing restrictions and we make the best of it! Believe me I think we've all got pretty good at making the "Best of it" however we also live with that little bit of fear that the rug could be pulled from us at any point!
On a last note we had an invitation to a "Do!" Trevor and Carol, two of our locals who have lived in the village for many years were celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary. It was a great afternoon and we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their special day, see the photos below.
Until next time

Whilst not a business owner I have been completely unsure as to the current rules so goodness knows how you guys are coping. It's like a seesaw. I just want to get off keeping my cheese on if I can.
