There is light in the very far end of the tunnel, a few hopeful signs are appearing of a future normality, whatever form that normality may take. 

The other day I had a zoom meeting with my friends in Epsom, where I work as the residential artist with Epsom LMLMM Week, or Epsom mental health week, I have been working with them for, I think this year will be number eight and every year has been a super experience. Last year the whole conference was digital and that in itself was interesting and slightly challenging; what format we will take on this year is still to be seen, but we are going to happen. That's good

It is now almost three weeks since we had our first vaccination, so that means that resistance to the virus is rising in our bodies. Its not the whole answer but it is a start. Sadly foreign travel will remain restricted for some time to come, as each area and country will be different, according to the state of the vaccination program in that particular region, as conquering this virus is and will remain to a large extent dependent upon immunization. I feel that breaks away in this country are not too far away, maybe late summer; lets see what happens. Vaccination will almost certainly be required for foreign travel, as in the future it probably will also be a requirement for certain caring type jobs. Things will be different. But we are getting there. So try to remain optimistic as to the future. Patience is hard, hold on; it will happen.

The above ink is an experimental piece, of using hard contrasts, to show mass areas of, in this case branches. The idea needs working on and developing and at this point is rather exciting. I was talking to a friend about this style of work on the phone last night. I love talk, as to talk with  friends is so encouraging. 

The doorbell just rang and two old friends were outside. Before I get into trouble, I am not referring to their ages but rather their longstanding friendship! With proper distancing we had a lovely natter. That is so healthy and uplifting; yes, things ares lowly getting better.
