Lately I've been positively offering a 25% discount on my morning tour to encourage safe leisure time during these difficult days. Well my tour operation has now ground to a halt as my venues are now virtually all closed due to the virus. So whilst I might be keen to take you Speed Grazing, I actually have nowhere to take you. Stay positive and we'll catch up on the other side.....
