Last Saturday evening my son ,completely unannounced walked through our front door.
He lives near Windsor and we have -for obvious reasons-not seen him and his family for 3 years.
In situations like this only mothers cry .Don't believe it!
Last night we played Dominoes which is one of our favourite family games.Lots of fun and too much wine.
About 01.45am I went to the bedroom and the TV was running on Sky and I picked up
the Red Covid scenario and the following facts.
Britain has declared Southern African countries banned for incoming South African Citizens.
If you are a British Citizen you have to return by Sunday 04.00am to avoid 10 days
isolation in an expensive hotel room near Heathrow.
As it is you will have to isolate for 10 days at home....along with your family.
To assist you to get home the British Government will not receive any DIRECT flights
from SA to UK.
After 2 frenetic hours he has taken PE-Joburg,Joburg to an African city,connection to Paris and flight to London and isolation for 10 days at home,if if if he makes London by 04.00am.Otherwise 10 days in expensive hotel room in London.
He is British citizen,twice Pfizered and runs his own business.
His return flight was sunday evening on a DIRECT flight to Paris/London with Air France.Now of no use.
He just came out for a week to see his Mum and Dad.
