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.
Jemma was even forced to wait until restrictions were relaxed in the summer to get an engagement ring before they set a wedding date of May 27, 2021. It is a milestone in the calendar they have been sweating on ever since sending out 30 ‘save the dates’ in November.
Thankfully, proposed roadmap timings mean the muddy couple will welcome their full quota of guests – fingers crossed.
Jemma said: “We celebrated our engagement with family and friends over Zoom and we had to wait three months for things to open up again so I could collect an engagement ring. So, I am thrilled to say that, after Boris’s roadmap was revealed our muddy wedding will go ahead as planned on May 27.
