I’ve been watching feel good travel programmes. Rick Steins Cornwall, Robison Green in Northumberland. All those lovely Ch5 programmes. The only thing unusual about them was that no one stood close to anyone else. Which made me realise how almost normal life was in the summer when these programmes were filmed compared to now (at least it was for the people in the programmes:I was still shielding). And sometimes comments about lockdown as if that was it and there wouldn’t be another one. It made me feel terribly sad when I think about where we are now. And also how this lockdown isn’t really a lockdown compared to the first one. It made me sad as well thinking how much I was enjoying these programmes because I realised it was because tv and the internet was allowing me to revisit places I’d been to but young people weren’t able to do the things I did when I was younger. Anyway: back to the BBC4 programme about Paris....
