Last night we had a spontaneous supper for a few friends. I dragged everyone outside to the dry dust bowl of a garden to soak up what will undoubtedly be a decreasing number of light moments in the early evening, savouring it for as long as we can. A little chillier but nevertheless beautiful, stunning skies, special, short-lived for now. As I write, frustratingly, I struggle to remember the very lucid flow I had in my mind in the middle of the night. It puts me off because it never seems as poignant when I actually put pen to paper.
