Cheers Fred . Just been on what's app with my German neighbour , who is desperate to come to her holiday home here .
She always comes ( and returns) by car - so flights are not an issue with her .
I will pass on this good news to her . I'm sure , she'll be delighted.

Ha Ha ! Nice one.
My Partner is heading back to Germany ( Ryanair ) on the 8th July.
After 2 cancellations - it looks like they will definately be in the air, then.
But, that's Spain - Frankfurt.
Not sure when u.k. flights will be operating?

From the Travelmole webpage, not good news
Greece has said British holidaymakers will be allowed to visit from mid-June, but Spain says the UK's infection rate must improve before it welcomes UK travellers.
Last week, the UK was omitted from a list of countries that Greece considered to be safe, but the Greek government has now said Brits can visit.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says British holidaymakers will be tested for coronavirus on arrival into the country and if negative, will need to self-quarantine for seven days.
If the test is positive, then holidaymakers will be required to quarantine under supervision for 14 days.
Spain, meanwhile, is planning to welcome a small number of foreign holidaymakers in two weeks' time as part of a test run to re-boot its tourism business, but British visitors are not on the list.
Spain's tourism minister Maria Reyes Maroto has said that the UK's coronavirus record 'still has to improve' before the country will consider welcoming British holidaymakers.
She told Spanish media that Spanish and regional government representatives had spoken with operators including Jet2holidays and TUI about plans to re-boot the holiday industry.
But she said the UK's 'health situation still has to improve'.
"For us it is important to guarantee that people arrive healthy and leave healthy."
Spain plans to welcome foreign tourists to the Canary Islands and Balearics in two weeks' time as part of a pilot scheme. If it is approved, the country will open its borders properly to holidaymakers from July.
