Saturday 28th November, day 29 of confinement. The rules are starting to ease from today, and if the average number of daily cases remains below 5,000 then the rules will be eased further from 15th December. As from today all shops can now open with strict controls on the number of people inside. And we can now exercise for up to 3 hours outside, including travel time, however we do still need to complete our permit, and not allowed to travel between regions.

From 15th December we will come out of confinement and move back into a curfew phase – curfew starts at 9pm through to 7am. This will remain in place as long as the targets are met. Inter-regional travel will also be allowed again and foreign travel will be permitted subject to the destination countries rules.

The sun came out to celebrate, with a gorgeous blue sky and not a cloud in sight. We popped our walking boots in the car and drove round to the aerodrome at Celles-sur-Ource to discover a new walk.
