Hard and soft

Mono Monday Contrast.
I selected a lovely lichen covered post which I shot with a wide shutter, throwing the background into soft focus,  enabling the hard and soft contrast to show better (I hope). 
Another lovely day on the moor with a friend.  We enjoyed a delicious fish 'n chip supper at Lynmouth, sitting on a bench in the sunshine.  When we got home, the question raised was "Where is my bag"?  We searched high and low. The bulb flickered and then shone.... "I put it behind me on the bench!"  We phoned the chippy. It had been handed in. So, back in the car with 3/4 of an hour to closing we flew back to Lynmouth. On returning home, friend realised she'd locked herself out when shutting the door to get to the car. So, we tracked down her spare and finally got her safely indoors... I had a big G&T when I got home in spite of my no drinking alone rule. Needed that!  We had a great afternoon and the late adventure did not spoil it as we laughed a lot at how stupid we get as we age...Hey Ho!
