"It has been a long winter"

BBC Radio Foyle - The Breakfast Show, "It has been a long winter"

A significant easing of lockdown measures for Northern Ireland.

On a significant day for Northern Ireland's retail and hospitality sector, the Breakfast Show came live from Derry's Craft Village as businesses pulled up the shutters.

On the morning of a significant day for Northern Ireland's retail and hospitality sector, the Breakfast Show came live from Derry's Craft Village where business owners prepared to open their doors for the first time since December. And reporter Teresa Craig met the self proclaimed super shopper who joined the queue for a city centre department store before sunrise. Presenter Richard O'Reilly spoke to restaurant and shop owners on an emotional day, reflecting on a tough four months. One guest told the the programme "I can feel the emotion building up in me already and I've only just opened, bring it on, it has been a long winter". And although it's a jubilant morning, the many restrictions still in place serve as a stark reminder that the pandemic isn't over yet.
