Lockdown Portrait #26. David & Christine Barton.
David and Christine have lived on Victoria Street for an incredible 50 years and 9 months.
“Feeling frustrated not being able to do our own shopping when we are fit and healthy. In the past we have been the ones to do something to help others. Years ago it was for parents and then more recently for an elderly neighbour.
We have been lucky to have a new neighbour move in next to us who has done a lot of shopping for fresh groceries as our daughter does a large shop every two weeks. Some of our other neighbours have also shopped for us. We never thought we would miss supermarket shopping so much!
It is fortunate that the weather this year has been so good and we have been able to get out for a good walk of 2 or 3 miles every day. The spring blossom, wisteria, laburnum have all been wonderful. We've never known the blossom in Westbury Avenue to stay on the trees for so long and I cycled along there twice a day for over 30 years to and from work at Kent Blaxill.
We would also LOVE to have a coffee out of the house again for a treat!”
I am shooting a series of portraits of residents of Victoria St in #burystedmunds to put together a small local record of this challenging time.
