☼ summer's gone

it was only short time ago

we strolled through a town of 

galleries and ateliers

 ate lunch in the sunshine

cheese and proper bread

homegrown tomatoes

 took photos of yet another wall 

window

washing line

or each other

rummaged in dusty brocantes

sat in this space

gazing through the window

and walked through the orchard

oh how I miss that!

≈ on the wing

what to do on a cloudy Saturday afternoon?

drive to Rainham Marshes

visit the RSPB visitor centre

they are very helpful

knowledgeable

and will give you a map

{which your friend will later lose}

there are hides

for the twitchers

and a beautiful hour long stroll

through this old rifle range

with glimpses of it's past

and the presence of the new

as nature reclaims

then a well earned cup of tea

and handmade cake

⚐⚑ green space

on the last day of the Summer holidays

we walked around the Serpentine

in the sunshine

to the Gallery

we tied wishes to trees

taking few photos

as we just wanted to see

and be
