Covid and travel discussion

We’ve got a staycation booked in the Cotswolds and praying for decent weather. We are struggling to arrange a private chef and household staff though to accompany us, the agency we normally use have no availability.

It might turn out to be true, just like it might turn out to be true that City sign Ings, but it is nothing but paper talk for now.

''Ministers considering cancelling all summer holidays abroad, Whitehall source tells i''

Is what it says as part of their front page on the i newspaper, though more a fleeting comment at the bottom than a headline or sub-headline.

Yet more unhelpful rumours from the media, after an already turbulent week thanks to their £5k fine headlines that were completely misleading and half baked. Talk about sticking the boot into an industry already a shell of its former self.

I didn't think 17th May was realistic but I did think/hope that sometime in June onwards would see the return.
I'm now starting to doubt that myself, and just hope we get the answers (be they good or bad) by the 12th April.

Think he has brought it forward to the 5th hasn’t he so not too much longer to wait. One paper reporting no holidays before August today. I don’t mind either way, just want to know so can make alternative plans. Last year we ended up in the Lakes for 4 nights and it rained every day. It was a nice change of scene but that’s about it. This year if it’s cancelled again (July) then I’m going to book somewhere in London and take the daughter for her first trip there. Might get an apartment for a week and just have a proper mooch around with the odd train trip to Brighton and similar easy to get to places.

Boris has hinted at some clues on the 5th but the travel task force announcement is still the 12th.
No doubt Johnson will just muddy the waters even further a week on Monday!
