Towards the lighthouse, light still blinking. Along the sea wall, tide high, sunlight glinting, the air already warm with a sticky, salty, sweetness. The skyline opening, pastels infused with grey. Gulls and sea ducks bobbing on the undertow.

Just been pulled into a childhood song and thread the needle game. Voices singing in my head. The big ship sails on the alley alley o. What was the alley o? Why the last day of September? Never understood the lyrics then, several explanations now

July 2nd 5.30am
More rainfall, grasses wet around my ankles. The sea calm, a sibilant whisper on the breeze. Staring over old walls, above the headstones & heads of knapweed, the creeping thistles & restharrow in the horsetail swallowed cemetery. Just words left to sift & scatter

Blustery. Cloud filled. We walked out to measure the morning. A single gull circles overhead. Gold gives way to blues and greens and greys.

Everything silvered. Covered in distances. I move slowly, breath deeply. Thoughts fin their way across the surface of the water. I hold them in, serene and silent, drowned by the blue enchanted circles of light.

Wind already blasting round the eaves, rain spattering on the skylight. Looks like I’m going to be a stoic in the rain this morning.

I have been down a bit of a rabbit hole this afternoon trying to solve a mystery. There is Victorian Penfold box still in use which dates back to @ 1869. I thought it had always been there but old images showed that there was a pillar box on the same site but not a Penfold.
