Hi all
We have elderly neighbours who are really alone but we've worked out a way to chat 'face to face'. He is 90 and very immune-compromised so we had to think it through .......
We each make our own cuppas and take a chair to whichever house which has the best sitting spot for the day, sunny but not hot, and one sits inside their door whilst the visitor sits well outside the door.
We chat and laugh and it helps us all as we adhere to isolation rules.
@ayrhaven, perhaps your friends could do this with you ?
