out again

Cool, bright sun, long shadows. A woman on a bench says “You’ve got to make the most of it.” A 2 year old in lilac dress, matching strappy handbag and sunglasses delights in a big black dog. The Church of Jesus and his Latter Day Saints are out in force with bin bags and Jesus tabards picking up litter while a passing baby in a woolly bonnet beams regally from her buggy, dogs and children tumble down the tipping hill.

Chur of magpies, a distant ice cream van. After the static of too much work, I tune into the park again.
