Times certainly are changing these days with Government interventions put in place to stop the spread of the Corona virus. This weekend we were expecting to attend our Heretaunga Caravan Club Rally. This was cancelled, and those scheduled in the near future, a prudent course of action after being advised that New Zealand Motor Home Assoc (NZMCA) have cancelled their own rallies. The advice is: “keep calm, stay safe and stay at home”. The directives from our Government are that over 70s (that’s us), because many in this age group have underlying health issues, should be limited movement outside their homes. Also all New Zealanders should be limiting their travel throughout the country because every unnecessary movement gives Covis 9 a chance to spread. So there should be more time for this.
More time for cuddles
Gemma doesn't understand about this virus, but is always happy for more attention, and cuddles. The various clubs and groups we attend have been put on hold, and the Levin Community Health Shuttle has just advised that all their volunteer drivers who are over 70 will be stood down for the foreseeable future to protect their health. Robin usually has a Tuesday afternoon shift driving the shuttle each week.
We are not confined to the house, can venture outside, or go for drives, or quick trips to collect groceries. Just as long as we keep away from close contact with others. It is terrifying how quickly the number of confirmed cases have risen from our first case , to over 60 now in a matter of weeks. But we will keep calm, and carry on.

We are under the same advisement. At least North Carolina isn't as locked down as New York and California. Other states too, but I've lost count. :-( We just talked to DH's parents in Whanganui and they seem to be fine. My parents are pretty much locked into their retirement home, not fun, but it's better to be safe. Glad to hear you are doing well, though I'm sure you travelers will feel the cabin fever soon! Best wishes. :-)
Trying times indeed Jenny, and t only way to stay safe is to stay home and away from there. Unfortunately we have to go to a few appointments but we shall manage these over time. Time for some quilting and knitting for you, stay safe.
It's amazing isn't it how in such a short amount of time this global calamity has taken hold and our lifestyles completely changed. There is nothing we can do, is there but to be sensible, adopt safe practices and just do the best we can. I know you will enjoy creative pursuits in your home. I hope and your husband are well. Take care, lovely Jenny.
