Opening!!
The New Norm. Yes, it looks certain that we will be able to open the doors on the 15th June. The last few weeks have been very different for us all.

What is it about January that gets you laying the foundations for the next twelve months or more. Why not June? I guess it is just inbred from an early age, starting with ‘Happy New Year’ and New beginnings. Apparently, every year, we look back at the previous twelve months. Yet, I didn’t.
