Burnham Overy Staithe

A 'blipmeet' with AngloOz and the family in Norfolk with dad just out of hospital looking rather grey but perked up with us all there. Mum on pretty good form, not really aware and yet she can come out with pearls ... when asked what she likes doing she replied, 'I like doing anything ... as long as it is with someone'.

Lieselott Among the Blackberries - by Gerda Mayer

Caught on September's
blackberry hook,
her hands reach out
for the sweet dark fruit;
wholly under
the blackberry spell.
"Hurry up, Lieselott,
it is late." (Plenty
of time! She
feigns deaf and dawdles.)
Old woman tasting
the last of the fruit,
in sunny oblivion,
in a still brightness.
