Haven't watched this video yet but my first thought was, "Oh good grief, don't bother with the UK" - lol! Well I say that...there are pockets where there is more risk. Avoid the cities, and perhaps favour countryside a bit more, I'd say. London - nah, don't bother, sad to say. Sorry if you've covered it in the video, but living in the UK or even visiting it right now should come with a health warning! Not that we Brits don't want you here, but just be careful where you go please!

Mark! You scared the heck outta me! Don’t DO that! Also, have a great holiday. Also, I tell all my friends about you. My kids put me onto you a few years ago because they all think you are the twin of their dad (my hubby) haha. We live not far from you and you inspired me during covid to set up my backyard as a food growing/chicken raising/worm farming mecca. You are the man. Enjoy you’re break, and thanks for all you have done - both for your country, and for all of us fan people ❤

@ktnsteve Hi there, yes you are very correct in saying this. Apart from the fact that there is still COVID here doing the rounds still, although the newspapers and tv say verylittle of it. In my part of the world (southeast England) there are people we know of whom have had this for the third time just recently on the third time. I would guess that there are many more places and if you should hire a vehicle, take care not to meet the racers. Now I really do not want to be off putting and seeing the person you are, I would guess there would need to be a great deal going on to achieve that. However, just wanted to say that what @ktnsteve wrote here is correct. Take care and look forward to hearing much more on your return. Regards, Maureen /South of England
