Alp! I’m in France and feel furious

Abandon your bucket and spade – holiday plans are in chaos, with France now on the quarantine list. Oh, and guess who’s still on a break in the French Alps?

We decided not to rush home, but to finish our stay in Chamonix, where we’ve been walking and cycling and breathing in mountain air. It’s quiet and very different here this year, with people even having to wear masks outdoors on high streets.

But I feel safer up a mountain here than in a packed London pub.

Boris’ blanket approach to the country is merde – regions and Covid hotspots should have been taken into account. But I guess that would need actual thought.
