AFTER enduring months of lockdown, Scottish glances have been cast enviously south of the Border this week.
Thanks to Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown, people in England have been meeting friends for drinks in beer gardens and mooching around their favourite clothes stores since Monday. Some were so pleased with their new-found freedom they were content to enjoy fry-ups in the cold and rain, as one tabloid newspaper reported.
Here in Scotland, we have to wait until April 26 before such freedoms can be sampled again, though First Minister Nicola Sturgeon did bring some cheer yesterday by lifting the ban on travel across the country from this Friday.
