Small Talk …have you heard the news
In this scene: Itâs early morning November 04 2021 and mum and I are slowly gathering ourselves for the journey home from our time in London. As a side comment; we got upgraded to a suite with a window view spanning what seemed from within the whole width of Parliament. As I put the kettle on to make us a brew I turned the news on â BREAKING NEWS! Extinction Rebellion have blocked the road (a major route) into Westminster and The Houses of Parliament; a peaceful protest against crimes to the environment and a message to Government. I opened the curtains to find that what was being relayed on the TV news was developing in real-time (seen just right of Big Ben as you view this image) from our expansive hotel viewpoint. We sipped our tea, watched and listened. Stuck in a trance-like state of the moment I suddenly became conscious; âSh!t mum! Weâd better get ready our trainâs at..!â And so our scurrying began.
I donât actually recall capturing the scene. I certainly missed the glory of this burning sunrise. Sometimes youâre in the moment when youâre not really in the moment.
