First Day of Lockdown

It was spring and we’d just been blessed with an early heatwave. Dressed for summer, I left the house for my first hour-a-day walk around my neighbourhood, Port Sunlight Village.

As I tried to process the news, I quickly became distracted by the calmness in the village. It was vacant. There was not a car or person in sight, and it all felt somewhat surreal. The sound of the birds seemed louder than before and the cherry blossom appeared more vibrant. I quickly realised how lucky I felt to be spending the future months in such beautiful surroundings and to establish a new creative project.
