the spirit of independance

I took a trip to the coast last week to see an art exhibition that my friend was involved in and I saw this old woman walking incredibly slowly down the street. A couple walking the opposite way leant over to me as they past and said "she never accepts any help you know". I watched her for a while and felt such a surge of admiration for this independant and determined spirit.


If you look very closely you can see that the bar on the bottom of her wheeled shopping bag is almost worn through. How many times has she made that journey down the street I wonder.....
