Yesterday we intended to go crabbing but made the mistake of planning to pick up the needed crab line and bate on the way. They were completely sold out so at the last minute we decided to go to our local seaside instead.
With it all being last minute I did not have time to think about it very much. There was myself, my husband Darren, Faith our 12 year old and then Chloe our 21 year old and her son Keaton who will be one in August. We could take Chloe and Keaton with us as they are now part of our support bubble as she is a single parent.
It was not until we arrived in Felixstowe that I started to panic. Visions from the news of overcrowded beaches ran through my head and I wondered if it would be possible to maintain social distancing at the beach. I did not want us to get ill or make anyone else ill for the sake of an afternoon on the beach!
Social distancing done right!
When we arrived at the beach an immediate sense of relief quickly followed by pride swept over me. Everyone was enjoying using the beach but also being respectful of the social distancing rules and it was lovely to see.
