the walk

simon bennett


Here are two of the most wonderful friends a person could ask for. Recently they had a child join their life - Lulu Fernie.

All three are rare and magical people. Their eyes sparkle with an energy that reminds me of places far far away.

We went for a walk about three weeks ago (I still have the blisters). I turned around and snapped off this shot.
It's not of a smiling happy couple, but symbolic of the new journey they are both on with Lulu.
It's not been a bed-of-roses adjusting to a third person entering their world but they are coping with grace and down-to-earth dignity.

To me they exhibit a grace-of-spirit that I strive to achieve and I thank them for their friendship.

Simon, this is a refreshing idea, young people aging gracefully. Why not? And you are so right about how much change a child brings to a couple's life. It is a time to grow and learn. Beautifully taken and seen. Ann C
