Had a nice meal with Lisa & Rich . Very nice place got thrown out at 11 o'clock due to newly introduced covid restrictions.
Drive to Porto and got a night in an airport hotel, flight leaves tomorrow morning.
Could have got a late flight tonight but with a 2 hour drive home from Luton a night in a hotel and morning flight works out best.Read more

Back in UK
September 17, 2020 in England ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
After carefully keeping social distancing in Portugal ( Covid rate 25 per 100,000) we are now back in UK. Luton airport 200 people crammed into a space less than quarter of a football pitch with Covid rate 190 per 100,000 (Bolton) to 70 per 100,000 else where and I am suppose to self isolate!!!!
Had to fill in online forms, get a bar code from UK gov to show immigration. Yea right. No one checked, no one looked, no one cared!!Read more
