Number of people allowed in shops etc., has been the norm since the first Lockdown, the only difference is it is no longer strictly controlled by door staff on a 'one out/one in' basis. We went shopping today into our nearest town - Angouleme - and were surprised how empty the Supermarkets were compared to last Thursday; we had our own doubts about going - up to Angouleme and I think a lot of other people were equally nervous about the current Covid situation. People here have abided by all the rules and restrictions, yet we now have Omnicrom spreading like wildfire its' no surprise people are nervous. The relaxtion of rules announced tonight, in my opinion; will make very little, if any difference to most peoples' daily lives, compared to what has been announced in the UK.

I live in a, basically, pro le Pen/RN Commune, however the majority of my neighbours support the gouvernment Covid measures and don't see it as Macron being nasty to them. For the life of me, I cann't see what people in the UK have against President Macron, Le Pen is the only creditable alternative to Macron and a Le Pen gouvernment will be no friend of Britain.

In France now via Tunnel with Dog & Docs ,what a palava compared to everything before.
Just an observation, we are parked up in a small well populated small town on arrival we walked into the centre giving the Dog a walk and buying bits & bobs and the difference to the U.K. is striking, everyone avoids each some wait outside a shop for it to empty before going in.If you walk some,you get glared at. They are obviously very nervous.

your 8 days in front of us i don't have to tell you to "enjoy "
