second coming7th Aug 2026Second coming
There is a sense that summer is ebbing, shadows are longer, the mornings are cooler, the swifts at the far end of town are gone, and the house martins are on their second and last broods.
The heat should be dissipating, yet there is a warning of 30c+ again next week. Notes from west in the North York Moors suggest a good year for swifts, so perhaps there is something positive in this dry spell that stretches back as far as June.
The blackberries seem untainted by drought: the morning brambles and yoghurt seem a good way to honour the bounty. All that I can hope is that when back full time in September there is a further crop: that would be a second coming to savour. |
