The shelves in our Tesco superstore were empty yesterday, empty of bread and fresh produce. The ferry was unable to sail, and all goods that we use in this island comes across the sea. I posted these innocent images with the caption "Tesco is an empire of empty shelves today", and the reaction was breathtaking in its excess.
I do think it is indicative of the times we live in, with people stressing about the cost of living, political uncertainty, a war in Ukraine and - the uncertainty of supplies. The latter is nothing new, and when you live in an island that lies 50 miles offshore, at a latitude of 58 degrees north, this is what happens.
The shelves are full again today.
