We
drive through heavy showers towards Emley but the fields
around the television mast look springlike as the downpour stops; meadows
are full of buttercups, the hedges up here still white
with hawthorn blossom.
The north west side of the mast is dark where it's been lashed by rain,
the other side remains dry.
Lemon balm, mint and marjoram
Well,
it's great having two holidays in the space of 8 weeks but it's also good
to touch the ground again. When we got back from our second holiday in
Norfolk a week ago I had a commission to do a set of illustrations for
a wildlife magazine and a geological walk to lead. They're both done and
I'm now printing copies of my Horbury books, Around Old Horbury
and Four Corners of Horbury,for the the street fair
in the town a week tomorrow.
As a small way of proving I am back to normal and I can do ordinary things
I've just been out and picked a handful of herbs - lemon balm,
mint, marjoram - and made myself a herbal
tea with just a smidgen of honey it. After I've finished this printing
I need to work on the text and design of my sketchbook on the garden which
has to be at the printers at the end of next month.
