We were seated outside in a space my friend described as a holding pen. It was a holding pen with notions, so there was a fire pit and good-looking waiting staff wandering around with brown paper bags. Must remember to ask Countdown word nerd Susie Dent who is providing a great pandemic service on Twitter with her words of the day. The couple’s kisses were so passionate, we felt sure they had only met and got together in the pandemic. Gossip with a friend in a holding pen with your big coat on.
