You needn’t bide your time ’til May: on Monday the Bailiwick of Jersey reopens to UK tourists, and with the island pretty much back to business as usual (and requiring visitors from UK Green Zones to quarantine for a mere 12 hours), you could be sipping sauvignon blanc inside a chic restaurant (that’s right, inside), checking in to a seaside hotel and working on your tan – sans mask – before you know it.
