The smooth before the rough

During the months of my medical treatment, my wife and I would sit out at this table at the back of the house having early morning coffee before setting off for the hospital. It was generally warm and sunny and (whatever horrid things were done to me by the doctors and surgeons) these moments of sitting outside looking up at the sky let me feel that, despite everything, I was still in touch with the spring / summer. So this shot of an empty table and chairs is a memory of something very happy that helped me get through some very bad times.
