Savour DSC_6067

I am savouring the sights, sounds and smell of the ocean before I return home for a month long “stay at home” order. My postcode is one of 10 subject to lockdown due to increased corona cases. I was fortunate to be able to finish our holiday. I am fortunate to have a government that is willing to make the hard decisions for the greater good.

 

But it really is hard to go backwards when you have had a taste of freedom, of being able to see friends and family and walk along the beach, take photos, to be able to welcome someone into your home.

 

The teenagers were smiling again, doing ridiculous things to each others hair (another story), businesses were just getting started again, and friends were able to visit nursing homes once again after months of not seeing parents.

 

It also feels just that bit harder when it isn’t everybody, when your area is singled out.

 

But we are safe and will remain as long as people comply and we will hopefully control the spread..

 

So I am savouring the wind, the sea spray and the lullaby that is the ocean and steals my dreams.

 

Will catch up with you over the weekend
