Lockdown - Postcards from Pembrokeshire

Over the past 12 months, in common with people throughout the world, the people of Wales have spent extended periods of time in Covid Lockdown. For many, travel, by anything other than on foot, has been restricted. The images I post here have been taken by me over the past few months, they represent glimpses of thoughts, feelings and brief experiences of my personal journey through Lockdown.

Lockdown - Postcards from Pembrokeshire

The streets are unusually quiet. All but ‘essential’ shops, such as grocery stores and pharmacies, are closed.

This window display in a small animal charity store captured my attention, and I found my eye drawn to a cute black and white pottery figure of a cat.

Animal charities are struggling in Lockdown. Not only are they losing valuable income from closed shops, they are dealing with a surge in animals which have been abandoned during Lockdown and which need food, shelter, vet care and rehoming.

Heartbreak and happy endings go hand in hand.

I uttered a quiet Budddhist prayer for those charities struggling to support abandoned animals, and for those having to take the heartbreaking decision to ‘re-home’ a family pet because of lost income or through bereavement.
