“You’re on mute” should be a distant memory as we begin – thankfully – to enjoy more freedoms than we’ve had in months. Gone are friends and
family members frozen on screen with seconds feeling like minutes as we wait to reconnect, and
gone are the days of only being dressed from the waist up. We now have our full body to consider. And shoes.

Being able to walk in high heels to a restaurant close by and getting to my favourite shops in minutes was really great. And we did what we do when we go ‘away’, we enjoyed fabulous meals and food, we ate well and frequently in 24 hours! We really made the most of our surroundings and perfect city centre location.
