Lockdown from my Window

23 March 2020. Our life changed course when the UK government placed the entire country in a ‘stay at home order’. What we didn’t know then was that this would mean 250 days in hard lockdown over the next year.  

With our floor to ceiling windows being our greatest source of ‘the outside world’, I began taking pictures of our view from our living room windows about once a week — To watch the seasons go by, to look back on the weeks gone by, and to remember the beautiful sunsets that passed by.

I’m lucky because the 250 days at home were filled mostly with joy and laughter. A slower paced life than my normal, but a life that found beauty in same trees day after day.

14 months after the initial lockdown, international travel has resumed — A sign of better times ahead. A sign of normalcy. A sign of home.
