Flight of the Angels

The view from the cafe next to where we were staying in Santa Lucia, enjoying a  last coffee before packing up and heading home. The island was beginning to assume an air of the surreal, more and more people to be seen wearing masks. We were glad to find our flight only slightly delayed, down to reduced numbers of air traffic control staff being available. 

Only having momentary internet connection, I've been out of the news cycle for a week, which wasn't a bad thing. On the surface, everything seemed pretty normal on arrival in Manchester. Only once back home and able to catch up properly has the chaotic response in the UK and the upheaval around the world become apparent. I do fear for the poor and the underprivileged. This is totally unprecedented.
