Socially Distanced Double Exposure

Visitors to my garden are still something of a rarity these days, and likely to become even more scarce if we go into a local lockdown, which we’re currently teetering precariously on the brink of...

So it was a particular pleasure to spend a sunny lunch hour with my friend Marj, who called round with a bag of plums from her own garden for me. We haven’t seen each other since the original lockdown started but Marj has kept busy writing plays (here’s an example www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr0_5aYnzqM) and teaching creative writing online, amongst other things, and it was lovely to catch up.

We maintained a healthy social distance during her visit but she came up with the idea of taking a jointly authored double exposed portrait which meant we could appear to be sitting as close to each other as we’d have liked to have done! I think it worked out pretty well. Thanks to Marj for the plums, the conversation and the photographic collaboration!
