Halloween at Home
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]2020[/eltd_dropcaps] is the year we’ll never forget, that’s for sure. What could be scarier than a global pandemic and being told to stay at home for months on end?
I decided to travel abroad in the middle of the pandemic…
In September, I booked a flight from Manchester to Milan 24 hours before take-off. Insane, I know, but after realising I’d spent the past six months sat working from the same table I sit to eat my dinner, it hit me all at once that I needed a break. My partner and I also realised our eight-year anniversary was approaching, so why not?
Initially, when I saw people travelling and going abroad a few months back, my thoughts were – why risk it? But now, after months of people going away and seeing the world, I’d come around to the idea, as long as it was safe.

And there are some perks of pressing pause on travel, even if only momentarily.

Are we in danger of becoming a contradiction?

I’m writing this as pictures of a strange-looking high street dominate the news. Hours before opening, queues of retail-deprived shoppers eagerly await their turn to embrace what’s inside. Some images illustrate textbook social distancing; others resemble frantic January-sale madness.
By the time this is published, I’m not sure how it will look. Perhaps we’re seeing more similar scenes, except the queues, extend to hair salons, cinemas, bars and restaurants.

Don’t Put Yourself On Hold
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]W[/eltd_dropcaps]hen the odds are against you and you feel as though you’re not getting anywhere any time soon, don’t give up. This is a great time for growth, we just have to build a bit of courage and break through the barriers. This has been an incredibly hard time for us all. We’ve all had different coping mechanisms to deal with this (some much better than others but either way, we’re in it together) but with that being said, we’ve got through the worst of it. We can continue to move forward.
