“I feel as if I’ve landed upon a completely different planet.”
Our Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Jonathan Rugman @jrug says the bars and the restaurants in Copenhagen are "open and busy".
Please listen to this - especially in light of the national clapping. We needed - and need - the govt to do better. Health workers need protection from the virus. It’s a ‘preventable scandal’
Here's a great initiative in the US to crowdfund donations to help pay and support sommeliers/on-trade staff who have lost their jobs due to Cov-id 19. See here. https://t.co/9tiuyjiKoL Inspiration for @MasterSommWW@UKSommeliers@UKsommelier to look at something similar in UK?
Imagine Johnson in charge at Dunkirk. “We recommend that you retreat to the beach and await rescue, but it isn’t an order, and we won’t provide any covering fire. Tomorrow I will be updating you on the boats.”
We didn’t transfer our powers to Brussels. We carried our powers to Brussels, and used them there, for the good of all Europe, for nearly half a century. Now this era of contribution has come needlessly to an end. I’m angry. And heartbroken. #LoveEU

We will be out and about the Bedwyn’s from 3pm please wave us down if you need any of our ready meals - lamb casserole, monkfish with wild mushrooms or vegetarian curry - there is no charge

Please, please cancel your tables & don't just no show. Tough times at the moment, 37 covers not showing when the food is purchased and prepared and the team are on shift is a disaster anytime, let alone in the current tough climate. Help small businesses to survive this ....
