Really hoping to visit one day

Well I thought for a second that it was you standing there. You’re so alike 😀

That bike looks so good there 👌. I keep my bike indoors and stare at it when I'm eating my museli in the mornings daydreaming of adventures past. I'm not joking I actually do 🤱(replace baby with bike)

Haste la vista Carl x

Surely you don't use all that 'stuff ', no wonder you feel the need to write extra chapters to your book every day, just to get out of using all that masochistic, pain inducing, body altering bits and bobs. Carl you are OK as you are and your guests will come back IF you get rid of that torture equipment, showing that in an advert will have an adverse reaction, Arnie or not 🏃💪 x

Hopefully we all will be soon 🙂

Woodfarminator!

Wish you could get Arnie there!!

No modelling shoots today?

I would say get out more, but we can’t I was hoping for my letter inviting me for my vaccine but this came instead

Oh god, made me laugh!!!!!

Great post! 🙌🏼

Have to say I wouldn't want his job for all the money in the world!! I think he's done ok to be fair, there isn't a single country that have got it right because we have never before dealt with anything like this worldwide before. Also, even though he is pm, he has 2 houses to answer to. Its like having 50 wives yelling do this or do that..can't knock him for trying as he's had the right ideas... But I wish it would go back to a more normal way of life and hope that this is the last lockdown..

Beautifully written. I could say more, but I'll only get annoyed and you've already said it all perfectly.

I Don’t think things. should be opened to soon, but to be fair he is getting pestered by everyone, that doesn’t mean I like him, I think his a Idiot, but he doesn’t have a crystal ball, so doesn’t know what’s round the corner. Be glad when everything is back to normal though

Spot on as always .

When we had to cancel our stay in june last year we moved the booking a year foward to june of this year never in my wildest dreams did I think that there may be a possibility that we still may not get to come and stay.iam keeping my fingers and toes crossed that we come out of lockdown safely..well written ..STAY SAFE.👍

👏

I totally get what you’re saying. Almost a year since I hugged my family (which for a big hugger has been hard!) I’m missing my hairdresser terribly (I’m not the least bit vain but do like a tidy head of hair). On the flip side, I work for the nhs. It’s upsetting losing patients, seeing patients still suffering long after contracting the virus so I’d forego hugs with family for as long as it takes and grow my locks in a heartbeat if it means keeping more people safe.

I wouldn't want his job at all, hes dealing with something no one has dealt with before, sadly hes dammed if he do and dammed if he dont, I think he should easy us out of lockdown open the pubs with restrictions like before Christmas, ban flights into the uk, i cannot believe that people want to travel abroad this year to seek the sun, have a staycation there are so many beautiful parts of the uk to explore. But sadly some people are greedy give them an inch and they want a mile ,whatever the saying is. I for one will remain careful, i dont fancy travelling abroad, i will still try to keep a distance from people.i want to see family and friends,i want to be able to hug my grandchildren again, but I think selfish people will put us back into lockdown in a few months time . Time will tell

Great words, but I’m more worried about this comming weekend, when if as predicted, temperatures are suppose to climb to 17 degrees! People may not of enjoyed the snow as much, but at least it kept them in. Hate to think of the crowds that are going to be out and about for the weekend! 😭

Back in October when furlough was extended until March, this winter was already planned. Call me a sceptic, but I have no doubt that way back when, the discussions of Easter were already the plan...

I want my life back. I want to sing in large choral concerts again. I want to see my friends & family . I want hugs. I want this pandemic over. I want to go back to the Barns for a holiday. I want a sensible government ruling this country. All of these things - except probably the last - are possible if we obey social distancing & hygiene rules but we MUST NOT undo all the good results by opening up too soon - we need this pandemic under control & that is some way off. Stay safe everyone xx

Fabulous words. As a business owner myself (that’s shut!) I totally agree. And 🤦🏼‍♂️ is all I have for that pointless November closure!

As a small business owner myself I totally agree with everything you have said. It’s so important to get this right & I fear our leader won’t 😔

So you could do better ? Not saying a agree eith everything that has been done. But I don't expect anyone would know what to do in this situation I would not want his job, nobody has every delt with or has experienced anything like this

Wise words......

Maybe that's why his girlfriend got pregnant, he was in a hurry and ............well you know the rest. (Sorry didn't intend to be rude it just happened) seems Boris is in a hurry to do lots of things. Too soon Boris should be his nickname. If I don't joke, I scream in desperation, you wouldn't want to see that,not a pretty sight. It seems I cannot control my mouth and fingers, come on Boris get it right for goodness sake! 😏

Is it people with short memories that want to travel before being safe or is it the commercial companies that make money from the.travel ?

Well written and in agreement with you. Although I'm desperate to see family and friends and get back to as near as normal life as possible, I'd rather get rid of this thing first, or as near as possible. Like Carmen, I do feel sorry for Boris but he has made some colossal blunders. However, none of us have dealt with anything like this before in our lifetime so who knew what was right? The one big blunder was to allow international travel. Also, as you rightly point out, we have some selfish gits around who do what they like. Yes let's hope this IS the final lockdown. Blast, got an earworm with the Final Countdown song now!! 🤣🤣 Hope you can reopen soon too. Love the sound of what you do. 🌈🌈🌈

‘Nah, I’m just gonna do my thing thanks’ has happened in the last two lockdowns... The amount of essential journeys that are happening compared to the first lockdown is frightening, you would think all the schools are open and fully populated when you look at the traffic. It is an unusual situation, and Boris (a highly qualified buffoon) could have looked as competent as most other leaders (not very), however he surrounded himself with the incompetent with no backbone to challenge him, that is why we are where we are... IMHO that is

But before hospitality and other businesses are allowed to open, and I totally appreciate people need to earn a living, I like thousands of others want to meet family members near and far. I would like to hold my first grandchild while she is still “a babe in arms” . I would like my son and daughter-in-law to,have the support of family as they set out on their path as a family. It is hard when a neighbour is the one who they have had to bubble with to help them. So for me it should be family first.

Could not agree more!

Do you have any availability this weekend? 🤪

Spot on 😕

Amen to that, I absolutely agree, Carl. I couldn't have put it better myself. I am so fearful that he will get it wrong again because he wants to appease his peers whilst his scientific advisors are rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere, muttering expletives. Of course, it is up to all of us individually to keep ourselves safe and protect others. But you're right, there are far too many selfish people out there. We all just want this to be the last year of the pandemic, so let's hang on in there eh? Well done to you for sticking to your guns and not taking bookings, I applaud you. And as soon as this is all over we intend to come to stay for our first time. Take care x

That's a hot tub with my name on it...

If only you were open! It’s my 50th next month I really need to be in there!! 🙄😫

Looks amazing 🍹🥂🎂

Awwwww 💕😘

😂 x

A hot tub full of love to you all!

Was expecting you in a Cupid’s get up !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣xxx

Ummm - are you doing it just for the hugging and snogging 🤔

Oh dear Carl, you seem to be suffering with cabin fever, symptoms include delusions of grandeur, unbelievable stories of celebrities who have no idea about real life, these stories you feel the need to pass on to the unwary general public, alcoholic abuse, by that I mean you abuse it by throwing it against a wall and calling it art, bit like Ed Sheeran throwing paint on a canvas on the floor and selling it for £40,000, there's no hope for him but I think with the help of all us woodentops we might just be able to save you, stay strong Carl, we're all here for you. Rally round woodentops our leader needs us. 😂😂😂😂

I think if you have no brain then you’re immune? 🤦‍♀️

So you’ve become a footballist so you can hug and snog sweaty blokes......🤔🤔 - starting to get worried about you now Carl 😂😂!!

So flipping annoying! Just gives the wrong message to our Covidiot friends, just because you get tested regularly doesn’t mean you can act ‘normally’ ...unless of course you are rich and/or famous 🤬 I think they should all be fined for breaking social distancing rules every time they do their OTT celebrations - numpties 🤪

Spot on!

There keyworkers now.....dont you know!🤪😉

2mm rule! That explains everything! 🤣

Sometimes wonder what goes on in an overpaid Premiershit footballers head.....😁

and it's strange how they all have a new haircut even though the shops are all shut!

One of those hairlines is not like the others.

Help is on its way Carl!🤪🤪

It's ok Carl! You can change your job now. Please will you pop over to join the England Cricket Team. You'd arguably do a much better job of it and it's easy to 'social distance' while standing around in the sunshine, failing to either catch balls or hit them... 🏏

And maybe you or I will die

So true Carl. Amanda Holden driving 200 miles to see her dad cos he was a bit distressed - phmph!!!! It drives me wild and footballists are the worst. I could swear but I won’t! Keep strong - we’ll all be back with you soon! I’ve had my jab! 💉x
