More of the same
Besides the alfresco
dining, I cannot say I have noticed much difference in the way people are going
about their business. Obviously, since the first level of opening up last
month, I visited the opticians and got pairs of glasses even though I might
have to visit them every year rather than probably once in 3 to 4 years.
At church, we now
have a fuller choir singing in the quire rather than just one cantor, more
people are coming to church, the socialising is left to waving at each other during
the service when sharing the peace or the short but distanced conversations we
have on the grounds after the service is over.
Readying for the
change
Yet, there is a sense
of anticipation, the yearning to travel abroad calls to those of us with itchy
feet, but nothing looks promising, many of the green-listed locations we may
not be able to get to without traversing an amber or red-listed country, so, it
becomes as good as the worst affected place we have been through in the last 10
days, despite being vaccinated.
The Bentley is parked
outside one of the exclusive hotels that I think indicates the owner of the
boutique hotel is about. In the midrange hotels, I am seeing pillows and duvets
on chairs and settees, as if the housekeeping staff have returned to set things
up for the next level of opening on Monday. Even then, I might find the
opportunity and occasion to get on a train and visit friends in London. The
unlocking is beginning.
