This is lovely, Chris, and your words resonate with us all. We hope that this pandemic will run its course - sooner rather than later.

Thank you Amelia, we can always hope can't we. I appreciate your kind words.

May good health & happiness come your way.

Unfortunately... will we ever be free again... and remember how it is to hug spontaneously ? That is why more and more I find peace in the wild, where I don't have to ask myself if the person I see coming will approach or run away... if I have to put on that thing even if there is distance? Enter a restaurant with hands smelling chemistry ? Not the way I want to live...

Will we ever be free, I can't say Isabel, but if wearing the mask, which I hate, and the other precautions which can be troublesome, will help in some way to get the pandemic under control,
I'm willing to put up with it. I don't want to live this way either and being able to hug my family and friends spontaneously, I dearly missed that right now just as you do. I'm glad you can find some peace in the wild terrain of your country, we all need to find a place that provides a sense of calm and peace right now and what better place than being surrounded by nature. Do take good care of yourself Isabel.

La présence du masque change tout. Une photo qui, bien que très belle, n’a rien d’originale se transforme en un message d’un cynisme absolu. J’aime beaucoup. Vraiment bravo.
