In the spring of 2020, shortly after they were furloughed from their bartending jobs, Jenny Griffiths and her partner Philip David fell behind on their rent. By November the couple had been forced to leave their home in London and move back to Wales, where they grew up.
“We couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel for the London [hospitality] industry,” Griffiths said, “so we just bit the bullet and said we’re going to move back.
“We had a really tight group of friends. Having to leave them behind was really difficult. It does still choke me up. It was heartbreaking.”
