Re: End of Spring Bits and Bobs.
I notice each time that I look at the weekend forecast the predicted temperatures have risen - from 1C on Sunday night to 5C, and Monday and Tuesday nights up to 6C. I don't know if they will go higher still, but I don't think I will be seeing much frost.

Any ground frost on the foliage will finish them off. That's usually temperatures around 3C and below.

Taffies live only in South Wales and are otherwise known as Hwntws (meaning people from over there!).
Those who live in the North are Gogs (from Gogledd which is North in Welsh).
But we all love an orgy.

Re: Allowable exercise
Probably the best advice is to avoid unnecessary paranoia about this. To be realistic, the death toll, beneath the understandable hype, is in fact extremely low - a negligible proportion of the planet's 7.8 billion population! The real death toll is currently waiting in the wings - economic collapse...

It is a problem when there are no local shops any longer. Our nearest "general shop" is Asda in Pwllheli, five miles away!
