Our gang of seven old codgers (three couples and a widow) have booked a cottage in Wales next month, but it's now against the rules. If we were in a hotel with dozens of other people, that would be OK. But the same seven of us in an isolated house, ooh, bad. Don't forget that Wales has different regulations. As things stand, I think you're fine. We've got a camping trip in Wales next weekend with a bunch of other families which we're hoping will still work out. Edit - scrap that, the rules changed today. Life comes at you fast. Edited September 11, 2020 by ml1dch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the guidance they will do in England. Link: Quote 2.4 Are children counted in the group of 6? Yes. It's in Scotland where kids under the age of 12 will not be included, I think.

Genie Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It’s almost as if this new rule was rushed through without thinking about it properly. If only there was a way they could discuss and debate the idea before implementing it to flesh out these kind of snags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you work with them, no if you’re related to more than 3 of them. Yes if it’s indoors at a pub or restaurant, no if it’s in a field or less than 4 of them are vicars. Just follow the science and you’ll be fine. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
