Anton Glaeser: "It seems the most valuable home comforts arise from sharing time rather than buying new belongings. I took the photo with a self-timer, camera sitting on an old desk in front of us, after my wife and I visited the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy."

Naara Pallarés Pousada: "During the lockdown of 2020, my husband and I used our extra time at home to find new ways that would bring us closer to each other and give us a measure of comfort at home. One of them was making sourdough bread. A new loaf of sourdough bread at our home in the Hudson Valley, New York."
