Trudy and Amelia Jarvis are amongst those who headed to Cornwall to go outdoor camping

Trudy Jarvis: “We’ve driven from High Wycombe overnight and we stayed in the car park until we were allowed to come in. St Ives is lovely. If you haven’t been, you really should go. It’s going to be a different kind of holiday, hopefully not too different with social distancing and how it’s going to work in the restaurants… but we’ve got a spreadsheet as we’ve had to book all our restaurants in advance.”

Amelia Jarvis: “We booked everything, my daughter is very efficient. She’s joining us next week for our second week and she’s booked the whole variation of restaurants we need but she had to get in the minute it opened. We’ve just been waiting on the 4th of July because we booked this time last year and we’ve been keeping our fingers crossed for the 4th of July. So far it’s all worked out well.”

They select it up from the street and bring it home and they’re simply kids. They’re terrified. That’s why a lot of people remain at home”

I was deflated, gutted, I’d waited all this time, followed the guidelines, and it was stripped away in a heartbeat, very frustrating.”
