Readers' lives: This month: The joy of Saturday mornings
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Your assignment
Each month we set readers a photographic assignment and offer them the chance to have their picture published on this page. The brief for July is Saturday mornings. Please send your photographs (in either colour or black and white, preferably in print form) to Readers' Lives, The Independent Saturday Magazine, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Photographs cannot be returned. The winners of "Saturday mornings" will be showcased throughout July. Each will receive a bottle of champagne or olive oil (please state preference when sending in entry).
This week's winner
The photograph above was sent in by Pete Harvey from Poole, Dorset, and shows his housemate Linda. It was taken at 11.30 on a Saturday morning, as she was getting up.
"Linda works on a pleasure boat that cruises around Poole Harbour," Pete explains, "Friday night had been a late one, a floating rave, everyone was hammered. I took these pictures of her drinking tea. Glastonbury was on the telly. The camera I used was my trusty Olympus Trip (one of the original David Bailey/Morecambe and Wise advert ones). Afterwards, we took our teas into the garden."
