After what seems like a very long time, next Monday is a landmark day – the most significant easing of lockdown so far. And thanks to a month of freezing cold socialising outside, I can hardly wait to get indoors again!

I don’t know about you, but this bank holiday felt more “normal” than any of the others in the last year or so.

Statement of the obvious: 2020 wasn’t a year to write home about. But although the Stay At Home order was devastating in a number of ways, there were a few upsides.

It’s a bit of an understatement to say we’ve been busy over the last few months. The reality is that ever since Lockdown 1 ended we’ve experienced – wait for it – unprecedented demand for our buildings.

It was rather inevitable wasn’t it? Rather than those two beautiful 20 degree days heralding in the next stage of lockdown easing and the Grand Reopening of the Beer Garden, the temperatures have plunged rather considerably now.
