ATTENTION WELSH MNETTERS - Coronavirus and elderly parents dilemma

[DMCWelshcakes]

Morning all.

Here's my situation:

Parents in their 70s.
One with cancer in remission and the other one very depressed and getting worse by the day.
No local support or friends.
Live in South Wales, not a touristy place.
Massively missing their grandchildren who they've not seen since February.

We live in England.
We've got clear Covid-19 test results this week.
We can get there and back in a day.
We can easily afford a fine.
ANPR at the Bridge will show car as now being resident in England, despite Welsh number plate.

Do I bung the kids in the car, pack a picnic, sanitizer & portable toilet and go spend time with them in a social distanced fashion in an attempt to lift their mood?

YABU = don't go.
YANBU = go but be very careful.

Mine will be coming to England next week to stay with me for a while

I'm in South Wales, not heard of any checks at the border or the like. Plenty of people I know have visited people in England.

Glad you've been able to find a solution. I hope being with you gives your parents a boost, and relieves the worry a bit for you

Mine are coming from England to visit us. We live in South Wales. On Tuesday. Its been a difficult few months.

They're here and I think the change of scenery is helping. I was definitely right to be worried about depressed parent. Hopefully we'll see an improvement from here on in.

I've been thinking about you and hoping a solution had been found. Am really pleased for you.

My mum got the hell out of Dodge on Monday morning and hit the M4. We are being rigorous with distancing and hygiene, as me and DH are working. But the change of scene and company at mealtimes must be lovely for DM after 3 months of sheer loneliness.

Hope your DPs enjoy being with you
