Or in the fabric and placement of the building
This is not the house of a gardener
Too much reliance on gravel and flagstones
But, as Kate points out, that clever
Extension of the side wall creates privacy
Hides us from the neighbours
(Although I think they are away in the tropics)
The wind whistles with a sustained gusto
I go outside to take a look
House-martins have messed on the door handle
Perhaps the owners could make a landing-tray
I take a couple of photographs
Grass and buttercups in the foreground
With a vast hillside (out of focus)
In the far far distance for background noise
One more bead of sweat, one more Saturday night
All the more reason then to cast back;
To remember similar times in Looe & Polperro
