Shadows

Running through a park on a winter equinox, I look around. The shadows lengthen at the end of the day. I soon hope to be spending the festive season with Christelle in the UK but covid and brexit threaten the trip. Traveling during these times is complicated (I remember the faff coming back from Pakistan) and climbing during winter is a rarity.
