Wonderful smells drift

He will not know the

sadness I feel as I hug

him and wave goodbye.

House is strewn with clothes

and kit that will never fit

into the backpack.

and cup of fresh coffee, I

Graduate

 

What future for the

lad in the white linen suit

and fur collared gown?

  • Inspired by a lovely post from Southamptonoldlady which really resonated for me. Lots of graduation ceremonies in Bristol at the moment and each one fills me with hope for the future and reminds me of how I felt on my own graduation.

London lunch

 

Smoked salmon and cream

cheese sandwiches enjoyed with

views of the river.

‘Make hay while the sun

shines’ carries great resonance

on days like today.

Medusa

 

Drifting in the vast

blue ocean deep, where there is

neither up nor down.
