Garsington

 

It could be November.

Low broken clouds threaten

Winds break up the valley

Kites risk the rain

Circling the park

The orchestra look sullen

Trudging up around the lake

Local scouts

Are pleased to take our bags

Chattering with enthusiasm of Iceland

We're in tent thirteen

Which keeps out all the draughts

As we enjoy our roasted artichokes

And Kalkidis olives

All picked up from Waitrose

At Oxford Services

On our way up from Hastings

Where the weather, when we left,

Was warm and wonderful.
