Between fen and mountains

Clingfilm shelter

The sun sparkled this morning.  It was too good an opportunity to miss a walk so I went down to the brick pits.  I found this makeshift shelter in a very damp and waterlogged part of the reserve.  Maybe it was drier earlier in the year.  The bag contained coal.  A homeless man has been squatting in the yard by the shop all week sheltering under an umbrella and a blanket.  We take him hot drinks and he receives sandwiches from well-wishers but no help from the Council to get emergency accommodation.  I imagine this pathetic shelter has been used by another homeless person but it can be hardly more comfortable than the pavement.
