We Continue To Arrange Mum's Funeral...(2)

After a very full, but successful day, in which we felt we'd accomplished everything we'd set out to do, Wendy and I arrived at the hotel at about 6.00 p.m.  

As it was our first sortie into the "outside world" as it were, we were a bit apprehensive, and curious, to see what measures the hotel had put in place to ensure hygiene standards were high and would  keep their guests safe. In fact, we were very impressed. We all maintained social distancing and wore masks; there were also labels on the door handle to our room, to say it had been sanitised. I asked for a couple of extra pillows, and they were delivered at arm's length, wrapped up with a label to say they had also been sanitised. All superfluous items, like folders with hotel information that are usually left on the desk, had been removed; there wasn't much to touch.  

We washed well, and went across to the restaurant, where the table was booked for dinner at 7.00 p.m. We were really ready for it - and pots of hot tea!  Again, we were very impressed by the staff and their constant attention to detail. We were escorted to our table - it was quite bare, with no knives and forks ready-laid on the table (before the age of virus, they were just waiting for other guests to breath all over them!), and the cutlery was brought to us directly, after we had ordered from the (disposable) menu. It all inspired confidence; and the best thing was, we could order large pots of tea, with extra pots of hot water. Never has that gone down so well!
