New areas put under level 2. Not Bristol (143/100000), not Exeter (341), not Plymouth (64), but yes Chelmsford (63), yes Braintree (42), but not North Somerset (53). Can anyone explain the geography of this? Presumably Bristol and Exeter may be due to students. But Braintree and North Somerset are demographically fairy similar; NS probably has an older population.

I READ THIS AND STARTED DRIBBLING!
I could forget the lamb and just eat these – which I will try out!
DATE AND APPLE SLICE and a gin.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
It looks like the government will follow present path until it goes wrong, and then after a suitable period of inaction, make some wrong decisions! Where is the leadership?

It does not matter what you call it, unless a strong case is made for any intervention and all sectors of society accept it, it will not work. We are told that unemployment is hitting the young and the poorest hardest. Lock down puts these peoples jobs and opportunities at risk. Marshall law and

EMPTY RHETORIC
As usual – hot air with no substance. Don’t. they realise that high levels of Covid-19 is hitting the economy too. Calls for track and trace to be locally organised have been stated for months. Evidence seems to be that the 10pm curfew does not work. With unemployment going up why not employ people as Covid-19 health inspectors, able to give hospitality outlets a green light to continue where they are deemed to be covid secure?
TOMATOES
Definite end to the season. It’s been fantastic, so much fun in picking my own. I reckon I picked about 10 cherry toms per day for at least 3 months. Lots of water (waterbutts). and ok, I will admit to a little tomatorite. Cleaning greenhouse I was surprised to see just how full the pots were with roots! Basically no soil left! And I will start a tomato recipe book here.
