Remarkable Sunset and A Poem

The beautiful photo, the words and the poem are all by my poet friend, Kim Ridgeon and  I thank him for allowing me to share the following:

“The colour was astounding this evening. The sunset reflected on the flooded fields of the Levels. Taken from our window with no mucking about with the result at all. Words couldn’t capture the scene.”

After publishing the photo, several of his followers asked for a poem.

“Earlier this week I posted a photo of the most remarkable sunset I have seen. One or two thought a poem would have been forthcoming. I felt (and still feel) that words would be inadequate in relation to such a glorious sight.
Anyway, here are a few thoughts on the matter on such a rainy day as this.”

Wish I’d seen that amazing sunset. Thanks again to Kim for, in effect, being my Guest Blogger today.

Train Journey, Home from Senegal and a Simple Supper

1    The train journey through English countryside:  The Somerset Levels, The White Horse, springy little  lambs, a Thelwell pony, flowers-in-a-boat on the station platform at Saltash, and above all, the vibrant green of the fields.

2   Coming home, beautiful bluebells and primroses in the front garden and coming into our house.

3  A very simple and very tasty supper of two poached eggs on toast!

and I’ll start writing about the beautiful things of Senegal tomorrow.
