The 17th of May had rung in a third red carpet welcome into the UK, releasing a plethora of glamorous dining gems, and decadent five-star establishments from the clutches of lockdown 3.0. Despite the rapid vaccination figures, our European and across the far border neighbours continue to have an unsteady position on our lockdown release radar, as the UK grapples under the hit of the Covid wave and multi destination virus strains, not forgetting the addition of the country’s much debated travel traffic light system.
