Here it is, the story I've been burying myself in for months. The Canary islands are special to me but in Tenerife I found La Orotava, and local wine, and I fell in love all over again.

But can I go back knowing tourism is destroying, has destroyed, so much?

Today in @thetimes.com I break down the price of a pint and explain why it costs so much. Over half of all job losses in the last year have been in hospitality - pubs need help. www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...
How much is too much for a pint?
The £5 barrier was breached long ago and at some London bars you could pay £10. When will drinkers just stop buying beer? And what do struggling landlords want to see in the budget?

Or the brain fog and long term health issues. And every time it comes up someone inevitably says "oh is that still a thing?" As if millions of us aren't living with the after effects possibly for the rest of our lives
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
