shadow Indian hotwater bottle

 Shadow of a cyclist.

After the warmth of Spain and with memories of a grey and damp July and August, how welcome is this Indian Summer with temperatures of 25 deg forecast, which greets us on our return. In the garden: abundance. Seldom can mellow fruitfulness have been so mellow.

In the window of the charity bookshop a displays of items found inside donated books. |Among them a note which reads: "Be careful hotwater bottle in your bed."
