Sitting on the bank of a somewhere river

crushing dappled grass by the house boats.

Eating smoked trout from plastic envelopes,

salty oil coating our fingers. Laughing when

renegade fish flakes slip from our grasp

tracing teardrop stains on our t-shirts.

Northern heatwaves can be fun.

Cheap Chardonnay goes with everything.

Yes, definitely sounds like the place to be at the moment.  And the advice in the last line is spot on.  This is our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day!  Please do share/retweet if you enjoy it too.

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!

Cracked this one, Ed.

Spirit of the moment and the stains of realism on our favourite summer clothes.

Thanks for lifting the clouds.
