Isolated on a clifftop

[bunn]

Or, isolated from humanity, anyway.

This isolation thing isn't as easy as it looks!  I thought by picking an out of the way spot to walk it would be OK to drive a little further from home, but had forgotten that to drive, one must buy petrol - and OK, pay at pump, but I had not thought about bringing soap for hands that had handled a petrol pump. Used an antibacterial wipe thing.  Better than nothing.  And although I had considered that cafes and pubs would be closed, and brought snacks, I had also not thought that being out for the whole day would require a loo.  Fortunately, Hartland had not closed its public loos, and there was at least lots of soap.

We were rewarded by some marvellous primroses though.  The bluebells aren't out yet, but I can see this wood will be glorious once they are.

Rosie DID come too, but in all the photos I caught her in is an odd shape or making a very grumpy face.  She did enjoy it when the camera was turned off, though I think she was expecting the usual cafe or pub visit with Sausage.  Alas for Rosie, a small disappointment among so many larger ones.

I'm sure like anything else, the isolation gets easier with practice. (Unfortunately, it sounds like we're all about to have plenty of practice.)

Aw, Theo looks so enthused. Lovely views! Hopefully Rosie was reconciled to the lack of sausage...

What a beautiful walk!! These pictures are gorgeous! I'm glad you & your dogs seem to be making the most of the situation so far! Poor Rosie though, how sad :(

Antibacterial wipes should do the trick, AFAIK. As long as it's imbued with a certain strength of alcohol, it'll kill the virus. Soap is best because it does the best job of breaking the lipids around the virus, exposing and killing it, but hand sanitiser and alcohol hand wipes will also work.

Looks like a lovely walk 😀 Glad the loos were open and equipped at least!

Poor Rosie, Wilbur was oblivious to social distancing and managed to mug some folks in the park for treats.
