Yesterday afternoon, I was informed there may be a chance to hold pop up kitchen events from late October onwards in my favourite pub in town, and was asked if I would be interested.
I hesitated at first, as the pub will need to be Covid-secure by making some significant changes to their business operating model, and am not keen on what I had been informed.
However, I was prepared to give it a go, to embrace the new normal so to speak, and to try out some new recipes, etc. etc... And I started to plan for a suitable menu right away, to help with the grand re-opening of my beloved micropub in town.
That was less than a couple of hours before the news about stricter restrictions on social gatherings that will come into force next week, in an attempt to prevent a second wave in England.![Roll Eyes :roll2: :roll2:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Good job I have already written off Christmas this year, therefore, I was not too surprised by the news as I have expected the new normal to stay with us for a while. Just disappointed as indoor choir practice is unlikely to continue, and I do hope I am wrong on this one! I went to the first indoor practice on Monday, and it felt great to be singing with the others indoors again!
I hope the pub can still re-opens soon as planned despite the forthcoming social gathering restrictions. Fingers firmly crossed!
