Living out in the middle of no where really scares many and they choose not to do it. But if you are a farmer then there is no choice. Because if you don’t then you will not have a farm. But! some farms are near a village with all its facilities. There is no getting away though of the very remoteness of the farm. It has to be as its got to look after many of those fields. And to prove its worth it needs all the land it sits on. But some villages have been built next to farm land as some of the farm hands want to be near their place of work and be near shops and public houses.

Where I live is a large village with many farms as the supply lines would be near to the farm hands. And there is a good road network nearest the largest city. So when the farm hand has a day they would visit the city. In their interests the city would provide more than the basics needed. This is what’s happened in the South of the UK. Where there is need for food and supplies then the farms would supply the citites. But in the North where there is remote and isolated areas cutoff by the hills. There would be just small villages. I have been to the North and the farms are remote,

Two New Variant’s

Covid-19 has mutated. Like all viruses it has begun a new strain of virus. These two viruses spread even quicker than the old virus. And it has mutated in the worst possible time. Christmas. It is a very scary position to be in. With lockdowns come very real isolation for many including the elderly. And with that comes real hardship. There is no real way of describing it. The UK has the only known cases of the new variants and that again is worrying. If the cases get out of control this will mean that all of the countries of the world will not let anyone in their country.

Completely understandable. But frustrating! In the thick of things there is now relaxation of the restrictions that everyone will face during this time. All the worlds eye’s are focused on the UK. And anyone going back to their own countries will face the rule to isolate themselves for 14 days. We on the other hand have to contain this new strain of virus quickly because if we don’t then our hospitals will run out of space. Covid-19 might then infect the birthplace of this virus. China. And that is a very scary scenario because they will not want this back.
