Discovering the allotments ...

This morning, after the first visit of the Carers, I went outside, into the garden - 

I noticed snakey weeds amongst the marigolds - 

I shut the garden gate behind me, remembering to very carefully draw the bolt across - 

My dad always says make sure you shut the gate - always remember the Navy Way - do it twice, and then a third time, to make sure - 

I walked across the small car park, with its lock up garages - Ashlee's dog was still indoors - 

I looked over a low wall - 

I could see allotments, strange sanctuaries with their sheds and angled bean poles - 

I gazed upon this silent kingdom - my heart rate slowed - 

I would soon have to return to the airless lounge -
