t’s the small things, the simple pleasures I’m dreaming of doing when lockdown ends. Just thinking about weekends, having breakfast with my husband at General Merchants or Freight Belfast makes me start to tear up. I’m pining for those quick catch-ups with my family and friends that turn into impromptu sessions, the ones that start with lunch then slowly slip into the evening! Heaven! Having my hair cut and coloured, devine! Dressing up to go out (the excitement!) and after reading dozens of history books about Belfast during lockdown, I can’t wait to explore the city again with fresh new eyes and a much greater appreciation of our incredible heritage… oh the anticipation, the joy... the simple pleasures I’ll never take for granted again!
HUGGING Remember hugging? I’m planning to have the ultimate hug-athon with my family and friends, thereafter with everyone I meet in the street! Watch out! I’m coming for ya!
UNMASKED Of course I’m not suggesting we all go mad and forget our social responsibility but I am dreaming and longing for the time that we don’t have to wear face masks, just the thought of seeing an unmasked smiling face fills me with joy. In the meantime here are some fabulous fashion pieces, with matching masks from sustainable clothing brand, OMNES. Who says masks can’t be fashionable? www.omnes.com
