The past 17-18 months have been many things – difficult, upsetting, stressful, painful.
There hasn’t been a lot of joy to find. But with summer underway and the lifting of restrictions, it does feel like there are brighter days ahead.
To make the most of the positive mindset, we asked the Reading Chronicle Camera Club this week to share photos of things that make them happy.
From beautiful walks to pets and looking back on old pictures, our talented photographers responded in their droves. Here are some of our favourite shots.
