Re: VE Day - are you doing anything?
We didn't really participate in any of the celebrations. We did the minute's silence, and did celebrate inside the house. We didn't go out the front though. My neighbours did. In two groups. One group actually sealed off half the road and had a full-on street party (which went on, with lots of drinking, until about 3am. They were not following the social distancing rules, with kids riding up and down the road, and at least one conga.
The other were a single family. They all sat around in their front garden, having a few drinks. Not too much of a problem, except one member of the family who decided he was going to lean against the tree on the pavement outside his garden.
This was a problem for me because I needed to go shopping. With a trolley full of a *lot* of food, to maintain social distancing, I had to cross the road, and walk up the other pavement. To get up my road, I then had to cross the road back. He stood there and watched as I did that.
