Good morning, Mick and all who follow on a bright morning in Torbay.
Like you, Beechnut, I’m enjoying Downton Abbey, an oasis of calm amidst the current football frenzy!
I do appreciate the many responses from folk here to my post yesterday. The pub where I lunched on Thursday, brook2704, is one which DH and I visit regularly when he’s in town so I feel at home there. On this occasion, the majority of the clientele were holidaymakers who were probably curious about this single lady, whose name was known to the staff. I did recommend the plaice that was on special to some sitting nearby so perhaps they thought I was on commission!
After much research and several phone calls, I’m no closer to booking a trip to see DH olddudders in France. Whilst it remains Amber rated by the UK government, my annual travel insurance won’t cover my trip and the difficulty of arranging (plus the cost of) the required testing is a deterrent, too. DH is equally disappointed but he is still awaiting his second vaccination so we shall be apart for a little longer. Thank you all for caring about us; it is heartwarming.
Enjoy whatever the weekend has in store for you! ?☀️?
