portraits in mono: Simon

So pleased to see Simon back when he came to lop the trees at the bottom of our garden.

He had a fall at work, spending 10 days in hospital and 10 months off work in recovery.

He told me that during this time and out of sheer boredom he started a small business milling and crafting wood to make cheese boards, table tops etc.

I look forward to visiting his stall at a local indoor market and seeing some of his pieces.
Sounds like a very resourceful gentleman. He certainly has a beautiful smile.

What a great portrait shot - hope Simon gets a copy. He sure took the right attitude on his mishap. Bet they're nice pieces, too.

You've captured such a warm sense of friendliness. Very glad that he is okay after his fall. Hope you can share some of his new venture with us.
