Sam 2020
"Sam, you may want to get in here, the Prime Minister is on the television announcing new restrictions", I heard my Father's voice bellow up the stairs to me.
I trudge down the stairs in a sluggish haze, wiping the sleep out of my eyes as I enter the living room. My Dad had the telly turned up so loud that I'm sure the neighbours could hear the broadcast. I switched on the telly text and killed the volume as I tried to absorb the new restrictions that were going to be coming into force within the next 48 hours.
Top of the list was the shutdown of all non-essential businesses and all non-essential travel. I wasn't planning on leaving here anyway; this is where Veronica wanted to be now, after spending years travelling back and forth from the UK.
I tuned out as the Prime Minis
