Comments:
I am now part of the fragile confederacy of Sunday walkers. We smile at each other as we pass.

Parents; bundled-up children; wearers of woollens; collectors of sticks; hand-in-hand lovers; gossiping teenagers; determined joggers; dog owners; eager hounds; dawdlers; flâneurs; photographers; sightseers; footballers; tourists; brisk cyclists; pensioners; birdwatchers; nature lovers; fresh air fanatics; admirers of sunsets.

I rest on benches and people-watch. I offer to take a photograph of three teenage girls as they pose at a scenic viewpoint. I wistfully walk through the playground where I spent long hours as a younger mother. I wander home in the gloaming, thinking of warming cups of tea.
