'A Rare Sight'

Though it's early in the morning, there are usually quite a few people already sitting on the various benches dotted around the park when I go out for my jog. 

Some are in twos or threes, chatting over a cup of coffee; others, on their own, are bent over their mobile phone screens.

When I first approached this chap, I assumed he was doing the same thing—but no! He was actually reading a newspaper. 

I quite honestly think that this is the first time I have seen this on my trips around the park in a very long time! 

And it brought home to me how much times have changed!
