Hello dear @kemmyb,
I like the custom in your country. So many people are younger than I am that I would never have to carry a package again😄
You are correct. It is a sign of respect. Often, my daughter stops herself from being annoyed with me (when I deserve it) because I'm her mother and that simply would not do.
Thanks very much for enjoying my photography. It's another way of seeing the world, isn't it? I'm just learning that.
Hope the start of your week is going well. Take care of yourself.
