Shoppers make tentative return to Barry high street as restrictions ease

Non-essential shops across Wales reopened their doors today after almost four months of lockdown.

"It's lovely being back open," Homemade Wales owner Fay Blakely told Nub News. "It's been steady, which is nice."

"I was really excited this morning, as my children went back to school today as well. It very much felt like 'back to school', I had my bag packed and an early night," she continued.

"I just hope this is it now. I think Barry's in a really good position to thrive, for the sheer number of independents we've got.
