Lockdown Mk2

Lockdown Mk2
Back on our older further afield local walks we pass this series of fences to a school. I always think it a great shame that our schools should be fenced liked prisons, but that is England today. A reminder too of our present re-imposition of tighter restrictions here in my home town of Oldham, North West England where we too feel imprisoned.

HFF. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Greetings from Leicester Herb - I'm still not sure what is happening to us here after an extra 1 month of lockdown!

HFF & have a great weekend (if you can!).

Herb Riddle club has replied to Loose_Grip/Pete club
Nice to see you Peter. The messages up here are very mixed too. Not full lockdown Mk 2 as my title suggest but further restrictions that is aimed, seemingly, mainly at our large Muslim population. Hope things in Leicester get perfect soon, I think things are loosening there.

HFF, have a safe and happy weekend. Herb

I will not let it get me down Steve, even though I feel the the bars are coming closer. Scotland had just banned people from Oldham travelling there. Ah well.

Just when we think that things are getting better -here we go again. Not quite as bad a lock-down as my title suggest but getting there. At least we are not confined to our homes. Our usual 5m isolation walk done this morning.

Well captured Herb. I guess the fences and gates are necessary nowadays. I hadn't realised you were back in lockdown. Hope it is not for too long. HFF and have a good weekend
3 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
H Carol. My title and description is a wee bit mis-leading as we are presently not back in lock-down. We have simply far more new restrictions placed on us before a possible new lockdown See my answer to Roger (above).

A serious fence not sure if it's to keep the pupils in or others out, I hope your restrictions soon have the desired effect, Leicesters are being eased although I was just outside the area, HFF Herb and try to enjoy your weekend

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
It is indeed a serious fence for this school. Not a full new lock-down for us yet like the one in Leicester but quite close. Scotland just put restrictions on people wanting to travel to my town of Oldham. Can't blame them to be honest.

An impressive (and probably disproportionate) fence Herb............but a good analogy for the situation you find yourselves in at the moment. I hope things improve for you soon.

HFF my friend..........I hope that, despite the circumstances, you are able to have an enjoyable weekend. Take care :-)

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks Keith. Yes, just when we think that things are improving slightly. Not a deep lock-down for us yet but nearly there. The hordes of Scottish holiday makers coming to Oldham's beaches have been banned from doing so today too :) At least we can still do our local 5 mile walks.

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which I really like.

We always thought of our school as a prison, and suceeded with many escape attempts!
The more difficult bit was getting back in after a trip to the pub...

But seriously, it is a shame that our society has gone down to such a low level that the low life's target children, and the 'powers that be' don't throw the book at them for fear of some 'political correctness' enquiry,...Enough said!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Yes, this school does seem to be protected by bigger stronger fences than usual but as you say, a sign of our times. Covid, well I have said enough already!

Nice to see you Annalia. Some fine fencing here for sure. Co-incidentally, this school is adjacent to our main park here in Oldham. Glad you liked it.
