So the tourists are back, welcome one and all, let’s kick start the economy.

Some, though, still have the words ‘isolate’ and ‘bubble’ on their minds, and not in a helpful way. So these bubbles block the pavements, apparently expecting single folk to brave the remorseless traffic.

Then they decide to go shopping. Judging by the queues outside Booths in Windermere, some bubbles are reluctant to burst. So I’d like to suggest two lines outside shops.

One for single shoppers should have priority. One for isolated bubbles. Perhaps this would nudge the latter into deciding on their list and dispatching a member to get it, rather than ambling up the aisle discussing the evening’s menu.

Individual decisions can make life easier for everyone. Then we can really welcome back one and all.

Some people have misunderstood the question of agricultural imports in opposition to American products. We are leaving the EU and it will be necessary to export to other counties, including the USA.

It is likely that lamb will be in demand, but no deal will come about if we ban American agricultural products.

Reciprocal concessions are unfortunately a fact of life, ultimately putting cheaper food on the supermarket shelves.

It is worth remembering that we import from many countries all around the world and this may not be produced to UK standards either.

However, we are now free to trade with the world and our farmers should be able to take advantage of this, especially if they produce some of the best agricultural products in world as we are led to believe.
