After my transplant, we moved to a small house on the edge of a sea loch with a well established garden and, holy of holies, a greenhouse! I've always wanted one and now it is my solace and my refuge. My heart breaks for those in self isolation without a garden. I've just sent off my first order for vegs, herbs and summer plants to my local garden centre who are providing a delivery service for the first time. So many of our small local supliers have gone online for the first time and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. The word here in Scotland is that the 'shielded' group , which includes all transplant recipients, will be the very last to join the rest of society. It is hard to think of sometimes but, when i feel a little low, I just head outside and count my blessings.

@wildcat, " a small house on the edge of the sea lock with garden and greenhouse" are you Sure you are living in Scotland and not heaven??? Sounds like the best of the best worlds! "Shielded Group" is a lovely way to describe the elderly and more vulnerable.

Think Scotland may be planning farther ahead than the U.S. While it is a bum rap to be told you'll be the last group joining society, at least your country sounds like it has gone further in plans for phasing everyone back to more normal activity. Across the U.S. each state is pretty making up its own rules about what and when and how to implement going forward.
