Inspired by the beautiful weather today.
Promenade
Seurat
would love this.
So
would Hyacinth Bucket for that matter.
A
stunning Easter Monday afternoon
with
a body of water to mirror the sunlight.
The
crowds are out.
Picnics,
bicycles, and ball games
tumbled
across the grass like
a
dice on green baize.
This
is twenty-first century Promenade.
Families
and friends power-strutting,
flanked
by scooter outriders with
small
dogs doing their best impressions of lions.
For
an hour, this is a hole in space and time.
The
internet is yet to be invented,
evening
entertainment was three channels or a book
and
politicians resigned on matters of principle.
Walking
back to the present day
with
sunshine at our backs is
a
shot of antidote for modern life.
How
long it lasts is to be determined.
