Tall ship
Ready your largest sail.
Today promises high winds!
The snow blew in.
The black waves froze darting shoals.
We’ve come to the end of our time.

I’m in the mood for sailing seas. The forthcoming Tall Ships Festival at Greenwich strikes part of me as something interesting.
Today it’s been a drizzly bank holiday Monday. I shall be off in a moment. All else that I’ve done with today was sort my closet, repair some clothes and leave the house to forage at Budgens. I returned a packet of marked down asparagus, half-a-dozen eggs and a bag of apples. I still need soya milk for tomorrow’s bowl of breakfast oats.
I’m in the mood for catching high winds.
