Another ground-breaking outing! Admittedly no fish are visible here: only one person per party is allowed into McCalls at a time, and Alice went inside to do the shopping (coming out with, among other goodies, a large chunk of sashimi grade tuna for me). It's a butchers as well, of course - but all a very long cry from Mr Simmons, on Wimbledon Ridgway, or the fish shop opposite the Dog and Fox. And this image also acts as a sideways commentary on pandemic times. We were, at the time, standing in line - and the line stretched past this tagged plastic sheeting, and the other side of that - well, the last time I was on Hillhurst, that was a perfectly functioning Mexican restaurant. It's so hard estimating what's going to survive, and what won't be left standing.
