For the last couple of days, the weather has been exceptional! Temperatures well up into the 20° Celsius - yesterday it was 23°C and the warmest March day ever.
It's a pleasure to be outside right now - and of course lots of people take advantage of this. Which causes problems with the corona virus still going strong. The trains to the coast were overfull and that's not very safe. So right now the governor of West-Flanders (the coastal region) asks daytrippers not to come to the coast anymore...
Enjoying like we used to do is no longer possible. We're in a sortlike lockdown and so you can't just go anywhere you like. You always have to keep a distance, and it's not allowed to be in a group of more than 4 adults. Next to this, all the cafés and restaurants are closed, so there are almost no toilets available. Where there are dunes, they see the evidence...
Chris and I aren't going to spend the Easter holidays at the coast this year. We're allowed to travel to Heist (unlike last year, when it was forbidden) but there'll be too many people and I don't like to walk around in crowds - not until I've been vaccinated. I haven't caught Covid19 yet and hope to keep it that way. We pretty much keep to ourselves and only leave the house to go to a shop (and that's always a nice walk, as we live no exactly in the town center). In the shops we were our facemasks and we keep distance from other customers. We disinfect the shopping cart and our hands on leaving the shop. This has helped up to now.
According to the government, my age group should be vaccinated by the end of April. I'm looking forward to getting my invitation!
