I can see the whole process of scanning QR codes or checking paperwork becoming very tiresome,bars,restos etc.
The first roll out is fairly limited but August will be much more of a pain,resto terraces,trains,public transport etc. Basically nearly everywhere.
So our plan has changed again, tunnel out to to France week after next spend a week in french France hop over the border 19 days in Spain , then ferry Back to Portsmouth . I probably bet my house on it changing before the week after next though!
Fingers crossed extremely tightly
Our French friends, who have a small creperie in Villerouge Termenes, are closing early, when the new measures come in, as their own small protest about the government measures.

What colour do you get when you mix amber with red? 😕
I guess the good news is that no test is now required for entry to France, if you're double-jabbed.
Unfortunately you have to quarantine when you return, which makes no sense to me!
It may change.
Nor to anyone else. I was incensed to read that cabinet ministers and the prime minister proposed a trial scheme of daily testing... And backed down only after an outcry. I still suspect that this Covid within government is a ruse to get them out of answering difficult questions about a rushed decision on Friday.

Let’s hope so. My Other Half travelled Thursday so must have been amongst one of the last to have to test to get in. He left me a voicemail last night, and from the sound of his cheery tones probably hadn’t yet heard the bad news about quarantining . Either that or he’s decided that as his return journey is ages away, it’s not worth worrying about.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

Not much you can do about it once you're there, so no point in him worrying.
I still hope we'll be able to get there within the next couple of weeks, I'm just not feeling confident enough to book any more sites though.
If France goes 'red', we'll just stay there until it changes again or until our 90 days are up. I personally think it's more likely that France will categorise the UK as red before that happens though so would like to get across there before any entry changes are implemented.
Perhaps the rules and problems on foreign travel, area blessing in disguise for some.
A report in the American press makes you proud to be British.
While the image of the "ugly American" is known across the world, many countries, particularly in Europe, experience the brunt of the "boozy Brit." The stereotypical English person abroad speaks English -- slowly, loudly and deliberately -- instead of learning the local language, searches out English restaurants as they don't trust "foreign food," and obliterates themselves with booze by the afternoon. By the evening, their boorish behavior is on full display.

So those Americans on the pitch next to you really were journalists then, Stuart? 😉
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
