Dew
drenched grass on the way to the shower block; families of rabbits in the dawn
mist; moorhen chicks having their first adventure in the long grass under the
caravan; being trusted to leave payment for trays of gooseberries and redcurrants
in a box on a garden wall; jam sandwiches; hollyhocks; shopping for Italian
wine, French cheese and Spanish olives at Asda in Harwich; letting the kids
chuck all their favorite snacks in the trolley - at Asda prices; hedgerows;
poppies; winding country lanes; glimpses of the estuary, as blue as the Aegean;
paddling; tiny crabs; dark oak forests and golden corn fields; friends jumping
on the train at Liverpool street and arriving an hour later, just in time for
an aperitif; making a campfire on the beach; watching bats; counting shooting
stars in an unpolluted sky; laying in the quiet, still night with only your
sunburn keeping you awake.
