Of distant days...



It's a mild 17º C today, and although the bright start gave way to overcast skies by late morning there were still a good number people taking advantage of the clement weather along the seafront. I came across this chap sitting alone in his beach hut, having fallen asleep whilst reading his book, and possibly dreaming of distant days.

That's what I thought too, Tim. I think it's the book title that clinches the deal with the image.
