out, then bring the virus back in. i m trying to get one of them, not all of the coins. it s the first day out since lockdown started a year last march, with grandchildren. what s it like to be back out with the kids? lovely. well, they ve grown so much. we ve missed so much. with indoor entertainment now open, the arcades were busy. at the pier this new space welcomed its first bank holiday visitors. i ve been in the leisure industry a long time, and this is the hardest 12 months i ve ever known, obviously. it s greatjust to see people about again. you know, there s nothing quite like seeing a family of kids enjoying themselves and people smiling. it s recognition for the hard work that everyone in leisure puts in. restaurants and bars benefited from indoor eating and drinking. this fish and chip shop got through three tonnes of potatoes.
