Just watching the BBC news and it is all about covid 19... it’s still with us even though it is easy to believe that we are back to normal . We aren’t .
We are far from it and I do not know what is to happen to people no matter where they live. The facts are clear, covid 19 is still attacking people here, there and everywhere.
My hubby and I are staying on the north coast of NI and it is idyllic. We were out earlier and although people were seated well apart, we were all able to interact and chat. Such a pleasant evening with no reminders of the pandemic. Sometimes I find myself pretending that life is back to normal even though we still have most of our food delivered and are not shopping the way we previously enjoyed. If I thought that we couldn’t get out and about , it would sadden me greatly. Human beings are not designed to isolate but clearly, that’s what we will have to do again until a vaccine is found to protect us.
We have flights booked to go to Alicante on 31st August. I received a message from EasyJet telling me that I could cancel and rebook for free but I am loath to do that. I shall wait and see if the flight is still going and if it is and things are no worse in Torrevieja , perhaps we will go.
Here in Northern Ireland we have a very low incidence of Covid 19 so I feel very safe indeed. I am hoping that the masses from Madrid do not descend in Torrevieja this month carrying the dreaded virus. That being the case, I think quite a few tourists might decide to travel in September and October but that’s only my opinion. Fingers crossed that there isn’t a spike in infections in the near future.
I ask everyone to pray for a vaccination. That’s the miracle we are all waiting for. Once we have been vaccinated, life can go on as it should. We need help.
