This year I am having to go without a lot of the things I previously enjoyed over other Christmases. We had a wonderful delicatessen last year, that sold so many delightful things for Christmas time. This has closed down!
I don't buy these things everyday of course, as I am not very well off! but it just made Christmas that little bit special. I certainly do not want to travel 60 miles to the city, on the public transport, with coughing sneezing people, even if I have been jabbed! Not with the Omicron virus about!
We had a good Indian restaurant here, but that has gone now. We have lost some of the lovely little tea rooms we once had. We now just have one little café! I just feel like I am living in a third world country here in Britain at the moment, there is so much poverty!
Last year we couldn't even visit our eldest son in the city at Christmas time, or he visit us. While Johnson and co. Were having a wild party with his mates, we were crying over video calls with our son, we couldn't even be together at that time, because of the lockdown restrictions. Other people couldn't even visit their dying relatives to say goodbye, it was absolutely sickening!
Last Christmas! What a difference a year makes!
