EVENING SKY

Having left a somewhat bracing Hartlepool at 6.30am, I got to Mum's at lunchtime with the temperature reading 23 degrees, and found her as usual wrapped in a rug with a cardigan and jumper on. By the time we'd had the hot meal she'd prepared, and I'd rushed about and done some errands for her, and then the heating had come on (!), I was more than ready to spend a little time in the garden cooling off before dark.
