Idle beat of rain

The lazy edge of summer

has been replaced by the idle beat of rain

so steady the fall

I look up to catch the feeling

 feel the wash upon my shoulders

burdening all I hold 

Turning my back  

 I gather my thoughts

through the mottled blur I step forward

moving back home to us

Schools out for summer tomorrow.

 I know my posts have been far and few these last few months. 

I have been gathering my thoughts and looking after my brood. 

Starting to play with my work and think of things of new. 

Trying not to be scared of failure and just giving it a go.

This is easier to write than do.

I will pop by through out the summer.

I am willing the rain to stop and bring instead some shine.

Good bye for now and happy summer!

the hay was as high as our mood....

us.

the hay was as high as our mood

as we flung it by

and we kept on going for a long while

to beat of the drum in our hearts

together pounding

the time was filled with laughter and wine

as together we sat

surrounded my the meadows and flowers

of the moment

we came to wish the day of my dad

a happy one

as we raised a glass to the sun and our shadows

were there somewhere behind us

the cousins blurred around us

as we watched

touched by their love

and of that of our own, we clasped hands 

 through the golden glow of light

we return with our memories

feeling forever 

and wearing our smiles high

I am showing at The Moreton Gallery in the Cotswolds this summer

Be sure to also take time to visit Daylesford Organic it feels like heaven.
