The kitchen windowsill at 8pm. Sweet peas from the garden. An expired milk bottle. Sun through the window. It’s high summer. Long days, warm days, light evenings, swifts still here, windows open cooling the home. Hard to believe in 5 months it will be the shortest day. How soon we forget the dark days of winter as we savour high summer contentment. How soon too in mid winter we forget these lazy days, captured tonight forever.
