Midsummer’s Day

I celebrated Midsummer by bringing our youngest son’s unicycle back from the repair shop along the length of Portobello High Street.

None of these conversations, however, took place on these Council designated safe spaces to chat!

This evening there was qualified good news about some Mediterranean holiday destinations re-opening to sun seeking Brits. EU leaders, however, are increasingly concerned at the relentless spread of the Delta variant across the U.K.
