Tramps.



like us


But it still sounds good.

Brand new.

I can see the album cover in the kitchen.

I can SMELL the kitchen.

Helen is boiling grits, compost and eggshell; it’s not for dinner, it’s for the chickens out in the yard.

There’s a sack of grits in the corner.

The kitchen is functional; solid wooden work surfaces, recycled beams from the roof.

Forty years ago!

Forty! (41-ed)

The house has gone.


Helen probably still has the album.

Ah Loose Windscreen. That is one heck of an album. My uni friend, Simon, a soilcitor by trade, is a massive fan of this track. They are all sensational and exciting: 'Jungleland - and try to make an honest stand, but they wind up wounded, not even dead...'

Blue skies here.

The weather here has been awful, compounded by the terrible heart-break I gave myyself when I left Saffron. As I explained to her recently, I thought I was walking away from pain but realised too late that I had walked away from love. Am so much wiser now, but have to move on without her.

Back to the weather, I can get away for a few weeks with Piero in the last fortnight of July. Maybe to France (freind has a place near Limoges) or to Lake Como if I can be brave about taking the white car all that way. Still umming and ahhing
