Compendium of coffee stops in the time of Covid March to June 2020 edition (from ceramic cups to paper)

March 15, 2020.  This was the first weekend that the spectre of covid-19 had become a reality for many. School was cancelled for the following week. There was talk of sheltering at home (that would come later) and mask wearing was not yet prevalent...

That was this weekend when my sis and I took our Saturday walk...
