A’s birthday happened to fall on the very day that the lockdown rules were relaxed just ever-so-slightly, so as to permit family picnics. Hence, we were able to meet up at Studley Park for a birthday cake and walk – as well as a takeaway coffee. Of course, there was a sense of déjà vu about all this! There were lots of people around, presumably similarly taking advantage of the modified rules. The sun even came out for a short time.
