Life carries on.... in Byres Road this week. Most shops are closed but have signs up to say they plan to re-open and serve on a 'take-away' basis or on the sidewalk at tables.
The corner of University Place (a block south of University Avenue) and Byres Road has been re-designed due to work on the University of Glasgow buildings along with pedestrianisation.
Meanwhile in Milngavie on Saturday the tea rooms have opened up. We sat outside in the sunshine and chatted to everyone... all were rejoicing in the fact that lockdown is easing and we can go about outside as long as we observe the 2 metre 'social distancing' policy which has not been lifted. (The R factor is between .6 and .9 so we all understand that it may be a few weeks yet before the government decrees that social distancing can be reduced to, say, 1 metre.)
The yellow lines outside the tea room can be seen on the ground. Only one person is allowed into the premises at any one time. This has been and continues to be pretty well the case in all premises i.e. small shops like the fishmongers, delicatessen, chemist, ice-cream parlour.
I was reading that distilleries have been allowed to carry on (though some staff have been furloughed) as they are considered an 'essential business'. Quite so!
