living is like crocheting patterns to someone else's design

but while one works

one's thoughts are free 

and as the ivory hook dives in and out amongst the wool

all the enchanted princes that ever existed

are free to stroll through their parks

the crochet of things ....

a pause ....

nothing

from the book of disquiet by fernando pessoa

☼ summer break

we love staying at my best friends house

in Andalucia

evening trips to hillside towns

winding up cobbled streets

past white washed buildings

watching the sunset

drinking tinto

dipping our toes in the water at Sancti Petri

collecting stones

falling in love with honey rum

and best of all

knitting by the pool!
