I am starting to hear local cases of dog walkers being followed and being asked questions about their dogs while out walking, even some people trying to snatch dogs from gardens while dogs are out doing their business. Recent national scam protection TV programmes are suggesting that drug dealers are using some of their ill […]

I do not normally deal with scam mails, as Karl does an excellent job updating new ones every week, but this one really annoys me, and evidence has shown nationally that one elderly lady was duped into paying over £150.00 for a placebo type jab, administered under non hygienic conditions, and with no knowledge of […]
Today’s neighbour thought is sparked by looking out at horrible inclement wet rainy weather with wind and cold all around us. You may have recently been furloughed or now working from home again with the new restrictions in place. Where do you sit to do your work? I am on the main dining room table […]

Thank you, BBC 2 !
Why am I thanking the Beeb? Easy – Education programmes in the early afternoon that are too good just for children learning on line. Coming from a grim mortarboarded teacher background at my grammar school over 50 years ago, how much more could I have learnt and absorbed, given more modern ways to visually show […]
I was really hoping that my first post in 2021 would be full of positives, and hope for a return to some form of normal lifestyle during the opening months. Instead, we awake to a new lockdown regime, a rapidly spreading new virus variant, people not wanting to obey strictly laid down stay at home […]

SEASON’S GREETINGS !
As everyone begins to finalise preparations for whatever type of family celebration they have managed to achieve in poor circumstances, may I take this opportuinity to send out my personal greetings to all those who kindly take the time to read this blog and read my regular warnings and alerts. I hope that everyone manages […]
We will all discover the Tier level tomorrow that N. E. Lincolnshire will find themselves embedded until the New year. We are all expected to remain in a safe and responsible manner towards ourselves, our relatives, our neighbours, friends, and others who live in our streets and roads. If the Tier level is raised to […]
According to Look North figures this evening, 147 / 100,000 is today’s national average for NE Lincolnshire, slowly coming down. We need to be below 128 to become lower than the national average. If the area drops below the national average, would you support a local drop of controls down to Tier 2? Would you […]
TIER 3, IT IS, FROM DECEMBER 2ND ONWARDS. Not a huge surprise, so let’s prepare ourselves not to spread the virus unknowingly, and more importantly, not deliberately, by breaking the rules. So, HANDS, FACE, SPACE ! 4 weeks to get the R number down.
So, how do you feel in regards to a possible 25 days full lockdown in January, and a tight conditions run up up after 2nd December, to pay for a lowering of family contact standards over Christmas? Personally, with 13 grandchildren that have not had a proper hug or contact since before March, my wife […]
This is such a confusing time as we drop into the 2nd lockdown period until December 2nd as a minimum. Many people will also be very disappointed that Bonfire night celebrations as public events are now banned as well. However, from recent nightly events around my own area, sales of fireworks have not diminished, as […]

A bit of a mixed bag message today: DARK NIGHTS, COVID CHANGES, SCAMMER ALERTS Dark nights – as the clock changes soon, and dark nights really fall on us, have you looked through those amongst your neighbours and friends who will be battening down the hatches and curtains, and staying indoors for many more hours […]
Well, how things can change in a week !! Higher infection rates, schools have had to isolate staff and sutdents in several local areas, moving locally into a red situation for Covid cases – not good. So, how would a 2nd lockdown of any sort affect you, your family, your neighbours? Can you remember what […]
With a rise in school related Covid cases, I have looked more closely as i have been passing any school gates at arrival or leaving times over the last week, and I am amazed at the total lack of social distancing where the children and parents are gathering together. No names, but I passed one […]
