20/20 Visions

Continuing the adventures of Jethro Anson Nowsty, a not-so-innocent Englishman abroad in France, entering a dark period for humanity as the first global pandemic for a century bursts upon his world. Like most, he tries to take it in his stride and carry on as normal but what is 'normal' in a world where human contact is dramatically reduced and human mobility is vastly restricted? He does his best at work as a teacher and at play as a writer, dramatist, reader, book-lover and gardener, singing the post-Brexit blues, dealing with lockdowns, masks, COVID tests and vaccinations, he struggles on, like everyone, blindly fumbling forward to a hopeful future with pathos, humour and irony . . .
