The Rookery

We came down to the boat today. I was a bit dubious as it was so cold this morning but it was a bit warmer and less windy nearer Skipton. We are cosy with the stove lit and it is so relaxing. When I’m at home I always find things that ‘have’ to be done.
It is still very windy but I like it when we’re on the boat being rocked about and it creaks like an old galleon. 
Frank made a yummy veggie curry for tea. Now it’s time to settle down for the evening. May even have a gin!

If I were a Tree

If I were a tree, I would be tall, sturdy, steadfast.
My roots would run deep and wide.
A storm wouldn’t easily bring me down 
Rooks would nest, raising their chicks
in my high, swaying branches, from which 
they would hop from branch to branch, 
until they find their wings and fledge.
That would be me, if I were a tree.

Goodnight ;-) X
