Tuesday 22nd September – 14th meeting of 2020
Today we decided to meet up for a coffee as things are getting easier with cafes, restaurants and pubs being open and are allowed to serve six people inside around a table. We choose our old haunt Fabb House coffee shop in Orpington as it is convenient for us.
Not everyone could make it due to sickness and Granny duties but was good to get out and meet and certainly seemed more like normal although the face masks were a clue that things were not normal!
We occupied two tables and wore our masks until we sat down. We signed in as we went in as this is the normal procedure in restaurants, cafes and pubs as it is used for the track and trace system now used in the combat to fight Covid-19.
We ordered at the counter and then our teas, coffees, cakes and rolls were brought to us. We really enjoyed being out and sitting chatting. Pleased to say that all the ladies, families and friends are all well. Lots of talking about gardening, decorating and DIY. All our grandchildren were back at school and it seems most of us are worried about the situation in the schools but each one said schools were very Covid safe and our grandchildren pleased to be back at school.
It was very pleasant to meet up and catch up on all the news. We hope to continue doing this until things are safer regarding travelling.
