Although the words on this mural read: “Family is everything” I think “family” can be defined in much broader terms than merely blood relations.

Connection can happen through physical touch – but it doesn’t need to.

But even if this is the proper way to wear a mask I still prefer these kinds of masks (worn anyway at all):

Or better yet, this kind:

I saw this in the area of the Dell Open Air Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. I always assumed it was Alex Kingston but I couldn’t find any record of it. Possibly a role that River Song still has to play.
