    I prefer thinking my breaks are blessed, so I prefer holiday.

    Two granddaughters. 6 and 3 ( funny names I know) I never realised how much Id miss hugging em.
    Speak to youngest on phone now more than b4 the lockdown. Lives darn sarf (London) probably meet at ours or his 6/7 times a year so not unusual.
    Talk to eldest and his wife nearly every day along with grandkids.on video link. Just not seeing em. Probably will soon. When guidelines are finalised.
    Saturday nights out watching bands with in laws.
    Travelling to away games with Hoyland Reds.
    Home games. when 15 of the family and mates meet up.
    Cricket
    Sport in general. Except football if it doesn’t involve Barnsley.
    Eating out
    Pub
    Shopping for bargains. Ar lass hates me buying stuff when I don’t really need it. That shirt. That pair of shoes. Why does tha need another pair of jeans/trousers. “Cos they’ll be dearer next month” Got to admit I’m a male shopaholic. But only buy if it’s in a sale. :)

    But to be quite honest. I’m quite chilled at the mo.
    Got missus still sharting at mi for nowt. :)
    Work .
    BBS to make me laugh or cry.
    Family quiz nights
    Family video calls
    Less traffic on the roads.
    Jump village daily quiz via video link
    BFCST interviews
    So I would consider myself more fortunate than a lot of others.
    Stay safe folks.

    Grandkids
    Fishing
    Fishing mates
    Draught beer

    Nice little set up at Hundhill Hall. Played there a few times. Only problem with there is I live in Rotherham and don't drive. Thinking about getting some weight off and giving Upper Haugh a go.

    I miss things I took for granted, a weekend at the caravan with family, friends, & dog. Riding up to Squires bikers cafe at Sherburn and meeting my biking mates for a chat and a brew, meeting our daughter in York for a weekend breakfast catchup, meeting lifelong friends in Barnsley for a pint and a home game. All just normal stuff that break up the bed/work/bed/work cycle that we’ll all appreciate so much more if ever life gets back to where it was.

    Everything which we classed as normal, I certainly wont take normal life for granted if or when it goes back to normal,I do think even after this the normal wont be as we knew it, I think many people who work in officers or rent floor space will/ may realise they could save on rent, lighting etc by having people work from home, I miss other than seeing the family sat down on a sat in front of stelling watching my acca fold in the last minute and being able to freely walk into a shop, sneeze without people hiding under the counter, simple things aey

    That's a sad fact. We'll never interact with each other like we did before. I think society will be more reserved and less sociable in public than ever before. I think the pub trade will be hit harder from the social aspect even though it's die hard **** heads will return.

    Fishing. Rivers opened end of March and there's been so many days during lockdown which have been perfect to have been out casting a fly.

    Which club do you play at ? I'm a member at Waterton Park. You're right, it looks like 2 balls only to start with, which is fine initially but some golf clubs are going to run out of money pretty soon.

    Oulton Hall , one of the group I play with regularly spoke to the Pro who suggested things would start moving towards end of May . They’ve kept up to the fairways and greens but apparently the rough is horrendous so the main problem might be running out of balls !!!

    I see no reason to not have included golf in exercise. Probably as much a game as any you’ll find to be able to play alone or with live in family member. Monitored and using strict guidelines. 15 minute slots pay over the phone etc. Don’t play myself but wombwell golf club more or less on my doorstep. Been round the perimeter for a walk on occasion. Wouldn’t bring much money in but help finances.

    Take draught beer off my list - I've just tried a pouch of that Nailmaker Citra pale ale and I don't miss draught beer anymore.
    It definitely makes a trip to Darton an essential journey
