Winchester on April 12 when shops reopened
SIR: Such a joy to witness Winchester returning once more to a bustling and desirable place to live and visit (Chronicle April 15).
On Friday the Cathedral Outer Close was packed with people enjoying picnics, families and friends gathering together; majority observing social distancing.
The atmosphere reminded me of happy times prior to the pandemic and what joy to see a busy High Street, including many tourists. On Wednesday there was an outside market once again.
This is a time to celebrate a return to what Winchester has always been; a magnet for visitors to admire the historical past and optimistic future.
