While everyone is confined to their home amid the coronavirus pandemic, three elderly friends decided to make the most of their situation by being isolated together.

THE MASTER PLAN

Doreen Burns, Dotty Robinson, and Carol Spark have been friends for over four decades and have proved to be the real-life “Golden Girls” while on self-isolation.

Together, they came up with a list of things to do, which includes exercising in the garden, drinking wine, and watching the Netflix series “The Crown.” Burns shared on “BBC Breakfast:”

“We’re in Carol’s at the moment. Dotty’s got a lovely, long back garden, which would be great for exercising. I have got a front room in case we get techy with each other.”
