Amid the ongoing resurgence in COVID-19 I took an hour out and headed on a walk. Nature located in 'my' refuge in the grounds of Blenheim Palace remains oblivious to the events occurring in the rest of the world.

I can't help but feel that the increasing degree of isolation that the pandemic is forcing upon us all is leading to an acute divide in those that can and those that can't escape from the reality around them.
