the way we live now

Going out for a Christmas lunch (not a party!) used to be very simple. Now it means taking a lateral flow test, remembering your mask, not getting too close to other guests, opening a window for some fresh air, using hand gel and no hugs or handshakes. That's the way we live now.

It doesn't mean we can't have fun, though. Eight Sisters around a table and even though no alcohol was consumed, the conversation ranged through a lively selection of topics and there was a lot of laughter. It was especially nice to have Mim there, an ex Samba Sister who we all miss after she moved away from the area.

Here is the lovely Christmas tree at the Woodlands Hotel :-)
