Spring has sprung and it’s kind of passed us by. We’re hurtling at a rate of knots towards summer already – what happened?

It’s been exactly three months now, a quarter of a year, since lockdown commenced. Ask us what lockdown was at the start of the year and we may have hazarded a guess at a daytime quiz show, or what you do when a submarine has a leak, or something that happens during a prison break. But this?
