windswept...

This image clearly suggests that the day was not sunny...
It was cool, misty, rainy... and yes... windy...
I was being driven to an appointment, but I was longing to be home...
I felt generally a bit sad, till I saw the sign on this truck...
I smiled...
I needed a photo...
Windswept is a furniture and homewares business based at Sorrento...
