Bread and butter, winter gathering and timing.
1. Heavy wholemeal bread with butter and homemade apple jelly
2. Walking on the common I smelt woodsmoke and heard men chatting quietly in the middle of a holly thicket.
3. Just as I decided it was time to stop working for the day, my doorbell rang. James had come round for a catch-up.

How can walking on the common and smelling woodsmoke and hearing men chatting quietly in the middle of a holly thicket be beautiful?
ReplyDeleteMore like sinister.

It made me think that men have been gathering in the middle of holly thickets to sit drinking round a fire at about midwinter since always. They didn't sound like sinister voices - just chatting away. Anyway, if people are going to do something sinister they go further from the path.
