Masked

It seems strange that ‘mandatory masks in shops’ wasn’t introduced until July 24th and to think that there was such a fuss about it. Cambridge had pretty much made its own mind up well before then and has always had high mask uptake. I met a friend for a walk today and she treated me to a coffee and Aromi toasty. There’s always a take away queue there mixed up with Deliveroo drivers in and out all the time. I watched the staff wiping and wiping while I waited - surfaces, food containers, equipment - it’s reassuring. It would be lovely to actually sit in again though!

Weather: bitterly cold wind
Covid: R less than 1 - hurrah!
Good thing: warm clothes

Great shot, it really tells the story

It's good to know that good shops are still baking. My bread shop is on an industrial estate and not so glamorous as this but the vegan chocolate chip cookies this morning were delish.

Love the way you put this together - well done! Wish my area was as diligent about masks - many people resent being told to wear them.

Love the reflections & double view...inside & outside for us to see! Beautifully packaged....it looks very tempting! As you say if only we could sit down! Pretty good about the masks here too.

Super reflection shot. I too long for the day when I can sit inside and laugh with friends over a coffee again.

[Barbara Paquette]

Your ability to capture both inside and outside is very clever! And people, too, I would be wayyyy out of my comfort zone.

I love all those reflections. I really feel for all of you still in the thick of this rotten pandemic

[Phil Howcroft]

Dare I say this government has been late at acting upon advice and guidance throughout the pandemic ...not that there is a rule book of what to do ...anyway nice story and image judith

[Peggy Sirk]

Awesome shot. People in our neighborhood were very compliant with mask wearing early on too. This winter my nose has been nice and toasty warm.

[DebbieG]

Yes. A capture of the times!

[Terri]

Very interesting shot of what our life is like right now.

[Jane Pittenger]

Very wonderful double exposure. Sounds like the people who live in Cambridge are intelligent!

[Jan Hall]

A really interesting shot with the double reflections. I can almost imagine the smell of that shop. One day we will be able to sit in places like that again and chat with friends over coffee....... sigh........
