If there’s one thing that’s been getting us through the UK lockdown, it’s the thought of jetting off and sunning it up on a hot beach with an alcoholic beverage in hand, watching as the waves crash against the sand.

Speaking to MPs, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said that “at the moment and for some time to come’, Brits will be unable to travel, be it abroad to a ‘staycation’ in the UK.
