12/6/2020 0 Comments COVID-19 : Strange Days #5Just a quick catch up to bring you up to speed. I got the call to return to work from 1 June, as did many people including Jenny. So, with a little trepidation and uncertain of what I would find, I left Merstham at 7 a.m. and had an uneventful journey to Uxbridge which took about 42 minutes. There was little traffic on the "normally" busy M25 or M4.
All that is missing is the staff, who to be fair are generally following advice and working at home unless unavoidable. As I write this (on 17 June), I was told that there had been 27 Canon staff in the Canon Europe office at 3 The Square (which is a high since my return). There are however only 2 staff at the Canon UK office (1 today) at 5 The Square which re-opened on Monday 15 June. There is no official change to the current position regarding weddings but... we have been in touch with the registry office and the word is that they have been assessing the situation and when the go-ahead is given they are ready. Numbers able to attend in the various rooms will be greatly reduced to cater for social-distancing and the 2 metre rule (down from 40 guests to 6). So we are waiting patiently for any easing at the next big announcement date on 4 July. The easing has meant that at least some visits have been possible.
We have enjoyed a couple - a Day at Tidesmill, Seaford and Newhaven and a lovely return to RHS Wisley I shall be venturing onto public transport this coming weekend to visit Mum. Although not really embracing the challenge, the visit needs to be done to keep an eye on her situation. I will be driving to Purley to reduce time spent on the train, but I'll avoid the Underground. Of couse, I shall be wearing face coverings, using hand sanitiser and washing hands often. These are Strange Times. Let's be careful out there...
