Precious time
Later this week I will be heading home. I’ve bought my tickets and booked my COVID-19 test, which I need to take within 72 hours before travel. It will be hard leaving dad, but I am so looking forward to seeing Brian and being back home, it will be 5 weeks since we have been together. We have never been apart that long before. It has been a tough time, not just for me but for Brian as-well, not being together at such a time has been very difficult. Restrictions have meant he was not allowed to travel to the UK with me, but I was grateful I was able to be here, and share precious time with dad. Dad loves his home, it’s full of warmth and love and he is very comfortable here. So with help from friends and family and some assisted technology he will remain in his home safe and settled.
After my COVID test I need to take before I travel, which must be done via a private test centre, I need to complete a travel declaration form. This is for me to declare my reason for travel, and that it is valid according to the UK Government rules. I then need to complete an attestation to enter France on the validity of my trip, along with supporting documentation and a sworn statement that I have not been in contact with anyone who has COVID symptoms.
Once home, I will need to take another COVID test following seven days of quarantine. I’m just loving the supplies Brian has chosen, seven days will fly by.
