This cheerful and kind delivery girl is our niece Emma, always ready to be useful to her old uncle and aunt.

She goes on errands by bike and never complains if she has to wait on line at our place.

Obviously we try hard to never take advantage of her kind availability, but sometimes it's pleasant to have her visiting.

Unfortunately we are obliged to respect social distancing, so Emma remains in the garden and I cannot invite her indoors for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

But more serene times will return.
In the meanwhile it's important to appreciate what we have.

My positive note today is that these necessary restrictions might make us appreciate better the sincere affection of people who care for us.
