Today, @gllcw and I were supposed to get married. He is still at sea, so we can't even spend this day together. George proposed to me on this day last year, which was also Tu B'Av (the Jewish day of love). For this year's Tu B'Av, I baked a heart-shaped challah with six strands, one for every year George and I have been together. I want to bring your attention to something: seafarers are key workers. They are delivering the resources that go on to power our homes, transporting the products we need from place to place, and ensuring safety at sea. Due to the pandemic, there aren't as many officers and engineers available to replace those who have been at sea since before lockdown. Flight restrictions, and some company quarantining policies clashing with what some work visas will allow in terms of arrival time, have also made it difficult to relieve those who need to come home. Please spare a thought for our seafarers today. . . . #wouldhavebeenourweddingday #lifeinthetimeofcorona #pandemic #unprecedentedtimes #seafarers #sailorfiance #seafarersarekeyworkers #bread #challah #tubav #wedding #engagement #anniversary https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5071yp6YX/?igshid=mors2yvdrt6n
