Stuck to the chair,
Hands and fingers sweaty:
A sultry London heatwave

Stuck to the chair,
Hands and fingers sweaty:
A sultry London heatwave

Once for grinding grain
Water rush-es fast
Beneath a disus’d mill wheel
The water wheel at the Watermill Theatre near Newbury in West Berkshire, UK

Thatch’d roofs and gentle rain
Puddles under foot
A typical English summer

Why does fish and chips
Taste much better by the sea?
Something in the air?

Being busy as a bee
Is very tiring
But less rewarding

Lying high and dry
The tide is far out
Fishing boats rest on the strand

He stands wash’d by waves,
Surveying horizons:
Lost in the sea of time
Sculpture is “Another Time” at Margate (Kent) by Antony Gormley
I say serviette
You say napkin
Does it make so much difference ?

I say pavement
You say sidewalk
The mighty Atlantic divides us

Bird on a wall
Watery reflecti-on:
Grand Union Canal

A flower pressed
Between the leaves of a book:
Memory of times past
