Empty benches

This photo, taken on my early morning walk, somehow conveys the isolation we have experienced over the last two years. It reminds one of the emptiness felt by so many who have lost loved ones during the pandemic.
Hopefully the New Year will see these benches used more often as life returns to some form of normality.
On a more cheerful note, families are beginning to gather on the cliff top with their picnic baskets, ready to greet the New Year. I just hope for their sakes, the wind dies down!!!
We will be enjoying a glass of champagne on the deck later, and will probably snooze 2022 in!
Cheers.
