Well Boris has royally fucked up our Christmas plans to see parents that we havent seen for almost a year.
What's the betting that the Castle clan (Tier 4 in both London and Wales) completely ignore the fact that they should only spend Christmas with those that they live with.
Rules don't apply to them of course
Spent last night in tears, mute with disappointment that I can no longer visit mum and she faces spending it alone now

.
Spoke to her today (couldn't have called her last night, too upset) and she is philosophical about situation. Will work with brothers to see if something can be organised with them last minute. They live 1.5 and 2.5 hours away whereas I live 7 hours away and not possible to do in a day, sadly.
She also has an amazing neighbour who, once she finds out the change of plans, will provide her a lovely christmas dinner if necessary (she hands tasty plates of food over the fence regularly
.
Once way or another, something will be sorted for mum, all within new rules.
Christmas Day will happen at Easter! That's our new plan.
