Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on.

At 11.00pm on 31st January 2020 the United Kingdom became the first ever state to leave the European Union. The UK has now entered a transition period that will last until at least the end of the year. If you have booked or are planning to travel to the EU in 2020, then everything will …

If food be the reason to travel, book now.
