Easy foraging

.

Squirrel at the door,

squats like a doe-eyed puppy

begging for some nuts.

Showers

 

August continues

where July left off, frontal

weather stream remains.

Holiday hours

 

So what time is this?

I growl at my daughter, who

rises after lunch.

Mount Teide

.

Highest peak in Spain

and mother of Tenerife;

we leave you in peace.

Holiday shackles 

.

The all-inclusive

branded wristbands are removed;

not my cup of tea.

Family time

.

Playing knock out whist

and rummy; these are the days

we will remember.

Airport time

.

Tenerife awaits;

a mixture of excitement

and anxiety.

Kernow

.

Farewell dear Cornwall

our time with you is now done

we long to return.

St Agnes

 

A cold sea breeze drifts

landwards. Not enough to halt

Spring’s warming advance.

Weekend break

.

Leaving en famille

a lengthy operation

on our way at last.
