I have no idea why Mr Ward has developed such an antipathy towards me. The nastiness in his remarks is totally unwarranted and the way he enjoys painting me bears no resemblance whatsoever to who I am.

Friends called today for a socially distanced coffee and chat in the sun overlooking The Minch. Your garden looks wonderful. Good luck with the vegetable. I eat a lot of asparagus but I regret that most of it these days in not carbon acceptable and nowhere near as good as home grown. I've not been in a shop for about 73 days. Friends do my shopping. I eat fairly simply but very well. I'm one of the lucky ones.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-40261361228218786302020-05-30T21:26:41.733+01:002020-05-30T21:26:41.733+01:00I am disgusted by the behaviour of our prime Minis...I am disgusted by the behaviour of our prime Minister and his advisor and have written to my MP to make sure he knows exactly what I think. I told him that while I have always been happy to be British I am no longer proud to be so. I think this lying, dodging behaviour is despicable and we, the general public are treated as though we are fools.<br />Today people were out in droves, picnicking and paddling in the local river - no social distancing.

Thanks for sharing it. <br />Living in the US, I've had such a long, long time to become inured to the stupidity of an inept government that I barely blink an eye any more. I am sorry it's gotten to you (I know, you're over it now - and good!) but so long as you expect politicians to only do what benefits them, while moving their mouths telling you they're doing what benefits you, you will never be disappointed.

Like many families, Cummings and his family were suffering a degree of cabin fever. His wife's forty fifth birthday was coming up and upon a whim Cummings said something to the effect of "Let's get away for a bit Mary. We are cracking up here. Get Alexander Cedd (their son) ready and we will be in Durham by midnight. We'll see mum and dad and my sister and nieces. We can stay in the cottage again. I'll tell Boris we have COVID symptoms. We can have a nice day out by the River Tees in Barnard Castle. We deserve a break. Come on Mary! Pack the cases. We don't need towels or bedding."<br /><br />And then they were off - foolishly believing that they would get away with it. The worst thing of all is the lies that followed.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-78784373034583501042020-05-30T08:56:10.885+01:002020-05-30T08:56:10.885+01:00Beatrice, I very rarely mention politics or politi...Beatrice, I very rarely mention politics or political issues but this one really upset me not for any party political reason but because those who made the rules and told us to do one thing clearly ignored them.

I refrain from commenting on US politicians on my blog, not because I condone their actions or agree with them, but because these are such Hot topics. I would much prefer to look at a beautiful sunset, sunrise or anything in nature. That said, Graham, I have enjoyed reading your reactions and the ensuing comments on this post.Beatrice P.
