  10. "Not a worry in the world" for Ava / children. A trip to the park to feed the ducks can be so relaxing.

    I was extremely surprised whilst watching a BBC Two programme last night :- Broke. A seventeen year old Tyrone was working " Zero Hours Contract" with McDonalds in Cambridge. He was living with two male friends :- I believe " Sofa Surfing". He made an attempt at renting a room elsewhere for £80 per week :- Whilst trying to cover his rent by aiming to get sufficient hours and income :- He failed, or did not fulfil aim. McDonalds :- Yes the fast food establishment which most of us are well aware of, as many establishments.

    I know of McDonalds for children's meals ( boxed meal), fast food, Ronald McDonald, etc. I am of the belief that there is Ronald McDonald house or houses to provide Accomodation for Parents :- When their children are in hospital :- ? Philanthropic? Yet employee/s on zero hours contract/s. Tyrone returned to his friends :- They had cleared a cupboard to allow him some space of his own. He could not lie out straight to sleep, or stretch, but it was somewhere where he could have private time and space. They later decided to move to London, as his two friends found employment there and had rented a flat with sufficient space ( a bedroom ) for Tyrone. On this occasion hopefully Tyrone, a seventeen year old :- Hopefully will have some chance in life. As some youngsters :- being vulnerable, are at Risk. Do they live on the street, at Rick of harm. What happens to them. Does our Government Protect these youngsters by seeking them out perhaps. As eighteen years old is an Adult. " Who Will Love the Children"?? What about needy adults. As this programme showed adults living in tents on a beach, as homeless, and how difficult it was for them to gain employment, access other Accomodation, etc. Seems Poverty is an ISSUE in the UK. Homelessness, Unemployment, Food Banks, Sofa Surfing, etc, etc. :- SO SAD, and DISAPPOINTING for a Developed Country.

  14. Innocent little child, expressing care and empathy within nature. Feeding the ducks at the park. We so enjoy a visit to the park, and feeding a variety of birds. We do always start with the ducks. The ducks are so popular with park visitors.

  15. Ava feeding the ducks. A caring, sharing, empathic action. " Actions speak louder than words ". Words can be spoken. Written, etc. Action / s is part of Behaviour. We Learn from whT we see and experience. Feeing the ducks can be such a relaxing. Peaceful, quiet, nurturing g experience, and an example to others.

  16. Perhaps maybe one of the many visits to the park to feed the ducks. As it is always nice to see the ducks, particularly if / when they have a group / family of ducklings.

  20. Ava " Having some alone time". ( No, I know Mum is nearby, probably taking the photo). Also I believe that it was Greta Garbo ( an actress) who apparently said " I Want to Be Alone". Some quiet time can be Beneficial for each individual. Possibly especially if living / working Enviroment /s are busy, noisy, have distractions, disturbances, etc.

    Workplaces have come under legal obligations via Health and Safety laws, etc. Maybe all environments should be assessed in regards to :- Is this a Healthy Enviroment for a Human, This Human Individual, etc.

    As I previously mentioned programme Broke showed a seventeen year old child living in a cupboard, at a couple of friends place. As he could not afford to rent a room elsewhere. He was in paid employment with McDonald's on a zero hours contract. Was this not " overcrowding", an unhealthy living Enviroment :- Though what was the alternative/s. A child :- What action/s did Government take? The Authorities? Parents :- As Parental Responsibilities? His Employer ( What about Compassion, Empathy, Philanthropy, Care for a Child ??) What does this Behaviour / Lack of Caring, Supportive Actions for a Child say ( Portray) about modern day Britain?? Legalities :- As Tryrone is legally a child. His Parents have Parental Responsibilities :- Should that have been challenged via :- Safety Net ( Social Services, etc)?? What is the opinion of our Monarch :- She is a Mother, GrandMother, Great - GrandMother, Our Monarch. She watches / views tv ( due to age gets a FREE tv licence). How does she think Tyrones way of life portrays her Monarchy / Country to other Sovereignties / Monarchies / Countries. The boy Tyrone is willing to work, get even so :- It is difficult for him to live. His Quality of Life is POOR.

  23. "Safety in Numbers". Ava seems quite happy, brave, comfortable with some alone time. Self sufficiency, being comfortable with oneself can be a good thing. Rather than just following the crowd.
