Two friends forced apart by the pandemic meet for a cuppa at the border

3 年前
These pictures show two friends forced apart by the coronavirus pandemic meeting for a cuppa - on either side of a council border. Tim Porteus, 58, and Sheila McWhirter, 57, had to come up with an innovative way of seeing each other. Restrictions on moving between council areas meant the old friends could not meet for a brew. They both lived in council areas which are in Tier 3 of the Scottish Government's restrictions - banning movement into other areas. Filmed on 23rd November 2020
