They weren’t the greatest gigs ever, but it was [going] out with the lads and not having your parents around, so we had a laugh.” A Movable Feastis one of Ernest Hemingway’s best-known works of fiction.

I had amazing jobs lined up in Milan and Munich, but then Boris Johnson came on TV and told us all to stay at home. It’s been rubbish travel-wise.
