This week was scheduled for an end to the Spring Sunshine we have enjoyed for the last fortnight, and began dull with drizzle. So it was to be a day of catching up on cleaning, but the forecast weather was not as dismal as forecast, so it dried up enough for me to consider buying some milk from the local Co-op.
The walk up Station Road to join the queue put a better light on the day than I had anticipated since on the walk up the road I noticed that the seeds were far more advanced on the trees, and much of the blossom was fading fast, so after buying what I needed, I decided to use the opportunity to get a few images before the rains returned. On arrival at the top of Station Road I had found that the queue had only one person ahead of me, so I walked fast after I had finished offloading my purchases, get back out to return with my LUMIX camera.
During the early minutes of my shooting, a man came up and said he was a journalist who had come to learn more about the Captain Tom Moore who had recently put this village on Britain and the World’s maps by the Funds he had raised by his walk around his back garden! He was enquiring about the background, and was interested in interviewing me, after he had visited the Post Office and Bill the Manager, so I gave him one of my makeshift business cards. So far I have heard no more.
I continued my shooting walk, then returned to process them and write this narrative, aware that despite this being a single page of images, it was almost certainly the last photos I would be taking for a few days with rain and isolation hardly likely to provide interesting or attractive images.
