DSS (20) has been at his grandparents (my husband's parents) for a few weeks now, since his university sent them all home. They're all in good health, happy for him to be there, he's happy there - they have a big house, lots of space, and think they are liking having him there to do physical jobs. They're by no means frail or particularly elderly, and he arrived there before the current advice.
He would, however, like to come to us at some point. We live about 60 miles away. He'd have to be driven - either my husband would have to get him or father in law could drive him over.
He's got to do exams online and I think he feels he'll be able to concentrate more here. I don't think there's much in it actually, we don't have loads of room but he does have his own, nice room and it's pretty quiet here (he's got three younger siblings at his mum's house and it's very chaotic there).
BUT as he's over 18 we think this would be classed as non-essential travel. Are we right?
Grandparents are happy to keep him there and he doesn't think it would be a disaster to stay, think he's just a bit fed up and wants his dad. But we all want to be safe and responsible too...
