Thank you Talisien, I loved your piece and found it wonderfully evocative because as I read I recognised this is currently my neck of the woods also. I live a bit more inland but there's still a chill breeze. I hope you make it to the beer garden today, I laughed at the London pride spilling...
The world seems alright at the moment as the swallows have returned and they nest every year in the old stone stables outside. The only year they didn't come was in 2002 when measures to kill a swarm of locusts in North Africa by spraying insecticide also decimated the swallows. It felt like a miracle when they flew in the following year! Keep up the writing, I for one enjoyed reading.
