We did, in fact, have an outing on 5 July. We travelled by car to Wimbledon and met with our younger son for the first time since Christmas! Taking our picnic, we walked over to Wimbledon common, and then on to Cannizaro Park where we stopped under the shade of a tree and spent a pleasant while over our Sunday lunch.
I was not permitted to take photos.
A wander around the park was more about catching up than looking for photo opportunities, and with my bad knee by then slowing me down, I got no further than taking this single shot.
I was drawn to it by the framing, but it turns out that there wasn't a lot going on in the frame, so I have had to tease a bit of blue into the burnt out sky, and borrow my father to do a bit of meandering on to the golf course. It is exactly what he would have done had he been there and I like to think that he might have one or two days left in which he will be well enough to do some exploring again, should a safe opportunity arise.
He is borrowed from a scene in early March, when I took him for a few days away - just a week before lockdown happened. I'm trying not to think too much about all the missed opportunities for him to enjoy outings and visiting friends in the months that have now gone by, but more of the precious times we can now have together as I take one week off in three to help care for him.
ah helen, your father fits very well there. his coat matches some of the tree shadows. how lovely to see your son after so long. bon courage with your caring for your father
