It’s Sunday again, so it must be time to go through what I wrote and ponder how the hell I got here. Yes, it’s Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond
Be prepared for empty streets in the city again as England goes back into lockdown (Shot on iPhone 12 Pro).

A Change of Scenery
I’m getting closer to finishing this trip report – however, there are real world things in the way. Should be done by next week…
Pretty pictures
Next Week
There’s plenty to chew over from HM Government’s rushed announcement on Saturday, as well as the fall-out from it. Suffice to say, the next five weeks are going to be more interesting than any of us would want.
But for now, please wear a mask when out and about and be safe.
