Viewpoint: Diary of a spectacle designer

I just checked back in my diary to March 2020 to get a reminder of what life was like before Covid.

At the start of March I was having dinner in a posh club near Covent Garden with an optician from America. In fact my diary was full of dinners, which seems alien now. Among other stand out events in my diary for March 2020, before the doom, was a photoshoot for the new brands I was going to launch that month (that took place but was never used), and patch testing at a clinic to see if I could get rid of some freckles (don’t know what I was thinking). I can also see football matches, lunches, haircuts, pubs, board meetings and a flight to New York. None of those things went ahead and have also scarcely taken place since.
