Green. A compelling, persuasive colour. Symbolic of so much. Of rebirth and renewal. Of growth. Of advancement and forward motion. Of that basic instruction to go, and go now. Certainly, all these connotations ring true, now the government has finally announced its “green list” of countries that are officially sanctioned as safe destinations for British tourists in the coming months. The announcement had been much promised – but had been notably light on detail – for several weeks. Now, at last, we have it; a tally of places that we can consider for holidays from today, May 17. Let summer commence.
