Town Twinning

Patrick Roe

Introduction;Patrick is a valued volunteer at Beach Creative with his contributions and support perhaps described as being 'behind the scenes'. Surprisingly he lives in St. Albans Hertfordshire and has maintained a very strong ties at such a distance. 
 
Town Twinning.
Has been a way to maintain links remotely using this virtual space. He walks early in the morning to take his exercise, as a restrictive moral pressure prevents walking freely any later in the day, for fear of reprimand or fines. I mirror Patrick's walks also early in the morning, taking photos which correspond to his. I on the other hand have a dog (Fred) and I walk feeling uninhibited without any feeling of flouting social distancing and have conversations (with slightly raised voices) with other dog owners or council workers who are the only people on the streets.

St. Albans; The city fathers don't like people walking 'aimlessly roaming the streets' it's frowned upon. Traffic wardens are masked and have switched their attention from cars to people, …… watching them.
