What if you got bookings from Leicester and other "to be announced ",Lock down areas???
You be popular for attracting to your village or area???
Worrying times only just starting possibly?
Yes, I wish they'd call the whole thing off this year TBH. I wouldn't be surprised if Drakeford doesn't bring in a second lockdown, and we get a second round of cancellations.

If Dripford don't do anything and the rest of the Country gets more cases and lockdowns because they relaxed rules then it may come round full circle and make him out to be like a "Genius" for staying safe here and Wales will come out on top!

Deal with them if/when they arrive and depending on the rules.

My little remote area of Wales I think is in denial that lockdown might be eased. They throw teddies out the pram on any little thing that might be not to the exact letter of the WG guidelines and quite frankly, they are scared witless. I fully expect that should Drakeford allow holiday rentals on the 9th they will bitch and moan about it. There's not a lot to do in this neck of the woods, the pubs are shut, there are no shops, any attractions are closed, so I really can't see any cross-contamination if reasonable precautions are taken. However, I will follow the guidelines given and I will repeat them ad-nauseam back at anyone who speaks out or accept whatever WG say and put up with it.

You guys better take the bookings and money now before the collapse of the economy sinks in unemployment peaks out at 4 million, savings return dwindle to zero and fear of further economic woes mean no one spends money on unnecessary items such as a weeks holiday. As you can tell my glass is not so much as half full as totally drained. Best of luck. Complimentary face masks on arrival?

Your right - so get hold of that money while you can. Doubt there will be a furlough scheme of such largesse in 2021 when the real economic downturn and reality sets in as second wave strikes through the world next winter. Enjoy!
