Had a great weekend celebrating hubby's birthday , but certainly shocked me how the Covid rules have suddenly seemed to go out of the window.
After telling son how safe and spaced out our local was , our Friday nights visit had more tables , some bar queue 'spots' been taken off and more movement to and fro between tables. Still had a most enjoyable meal and night out though
Son's " no- one by me bothers anymore" made think it was going to be just the youngsters in a few places there.
Our night out in Worcester was a real shock with all ages , both customers and staff going about as though Covid has never existed
and people in the street seeming not to have heard of social distancing.
But had a great night in a Texas style restaurant , followed by a few pints in a good old fashioned real ale pub.
Comfy night at sons rather than risking our usual hotel . ( And just couldn't resist getting stuck into his ironing before we went out, despite being told I was supposed to be there to relax...)
On the way home on Sunday , hubby's actual birthday, we'd booked a surprise Sunday lunch at The Holt Fleet hotel in Worcestershire. Fantastic setting , fantastic meal and service , fantastic views by the riverside and staff and customers all wearing masks.
Really pleased son mentioned he'd had a nice meal there the other week as it really did make the day ' special'.
A long way from Stafford , but well worth a visit if passing that way!
The bday weekend continues into tonight for me and hubby....got another table booked for when he finishes work.
