Throughout the pandemic in London, I have tried to keep up with the restrictions and social upheavals, as they unfolded.
From the first hints in early March of an approaching national pandemic, to the current easing of restrictions and re-openings of transport and retail in June, the temperament of Londoners still pulls and pushes against government control.
The wearing of face masks was alien to us, the vacating of our city and the retreat behind front doors, all the while imagining that this 'will all be over in a few weeks', had a wartime reasoning we appeared to reluctantly accept, if only for the sake of young minds.
More recently, the city awoke from a seemingly long slumber, although this story is far from over - and winter is coming.
