Denise.

Denise was a hairdresser before she retired. She is originally from Newport in Wales. But when her husband passed away a few years ago, she said that it made sense to move to Hampshire in England to be closer to her son. 

She told me that Welsh people love to talk and are always very friendly, and during our brief conversation, it was clear that Denise was a great example of this. 

She told me that she hadn’t been out much since the start of the pandemic. Denise loves to paint and has started going to her art class again. When I took this shot, she was at the bus stop and was off to town to do a big shop at ASDA’s for the first time since lockdown. She told me that she had to get out today - All the news about Ukraine is just so upsetting that she can’t bear to watch the TV anymore. 2022.
