To not join in with the social distancing street party tomorrow.

[GJAK9729]

Our local village are doing a social distancing street party tomorrow and everyone on the community website is quite excited about it.

Me and dc have learnt about VE Day and why it happens this week. We have made some bunting to put up.

But I really don’t want to join in with the street party. We generally keep ourselves to ourselves. We know our neighbours but not really friends with any of them. Our neighbours are quite a sociable bunch and we are not.

Plus our eldest child has additional needs. I can’t fully trust him to remember to socially distance and I would be a nervous wreck about him being out the front. He has no sense of danger plus he’ll get over excited which often turns him into a bit of a nightmare.

Aibu not to join in?

just saw this... Anyone for a conga?

Well, did absolutely everyone behave during your glorious celebrations? No one broke guidance and acted stupid because that ‘capability’ went out, once the drink went in?

Like @Stonerosie67 - obviously I can't speak for all roads, the country over, but, in our road, yes, everyone 'behaved', and we had a lovely time

Social distancing isnt the only factor.
Sharing of materials, chairs, plates, cutlery, glasses

But, as - in our road and in all the invitations and suggestions I saw going round social media - there was no 'sharing'. The idea was to bring your own things out of your own house, and eat / drink. Nobody has touched other peoples chairs, plates, or glasses here.

BackforGood thanks, I was beginning to think it was just me!! Your celebration sounds the same as ours, and we loved it.

Then that's a well observed party.

Ours was great. Informal, a few houses had bunting and flags. Most sat on their front gardens but our road is wide so we walked up the road and chatted at 2m with a glass of wine. Was a couple of hours and we came home with a real sense of community and a boost to our wellbeing and mental health.

No sharing of anything but chat and smiles.
