Let’s not dwell on the likely complications we may face in travelling abroad this summer and concentrate instead on the pleasures on our door step. Much, too much perhaps, has been written on the subject of the ‘staycation’ during the course of the pandemic, to the point where this lacklustre word completely fails to convey any sense of allure in the prospect of holidaying on home shores. So chuck that ugly word in the bin, along with the British climate for fear it dampens our spirit, and focus on the manifold blessings this country has to offer – not least our brilliant but beleaguered hotel industry which, from May 17th, will be crying out for our renewed support.
