Had a message overnight on NHS app that mid Wales has moved from low risk to high. :o :(
Stay safe all.

I've seen no mention of that on any website with news about Wales. However, because we have now gone back into a lockdown, slightly less harsh, but not much, than the last one, it is somewhat irrelevant because hardly anyone can go anywhere.
Now it seems we are to be faced with other restrictions when this current one ends. The local county/town/city lockdowns will, apparently, not be reinstated. The WG is currently deciding what to do and, as I've already pointed out, we may have further such lockdowns after New Year  ............   Carry on - Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth .........

The person with the ultimate control over England was quite clear from the outset at the start of 2020....

Job done.
Before he went off for a relaxing weekend, he couldn't even be bothered to impose a travel ban on tier 3 areas, to prevent them from holidaying and spreading the disease in areas which have not yet entered tier 3.

Not to worry, the whole of England will soon be classed as tier 3, which will save time and effort in preparing all those pretty maps.

  Just heard that the Wales first minister is not backing down over supermarkets only selling food. Good for him!

But it's not just food which supermarkets are allowed to sell, they are still able to sell alcohol. I find it odd that you cannot buy a bottle for a baby or, say, a kettle if yours has gone bang, but you can, should you so wish, buy every bottle of booze on display.
Yes, it is mainly common sense, as Mr Drakeford says, but some definition is required because non-essential can be subjective. As for confusion, there always seems to be some across the border so why can we not have some in Wales?.
Anyway, we are now all walking around naked in Wales - Mr Drakeford says  clothes are non-essential. Roll on summer.

I was aware of the story. It was a "convenience" they could hire portaloos for use on the English side of the border.
