Of course the restaurants and bars are very upset by it all too.
Sorry to hear about your Father in law. It's such a shame that it's not possible for more to attend.
My parents didn't go to my Aunts funeral, earlier in the year. It was partly because of numbers (they were nudging towards max), and the fact they would have had to overnight somewhere as the funeral was 6 hours drive away. My parents are in their 80s and had just recieved a letter about shielding. The worst thing was that my uncle wasn't allowed to visit my aunt who had dementia. She had broken her hip, and while the operation went well, she refused to eat, it was very distressing for my uncle, the rest of the family were unable to offer much more than verbal support.
Things are hotting up here in Denmark again, Corona passports were re-introduced on Friday, but I'm sure more restrictions will follow. I'm thinking we'll be living with this for a while yet.
