Friday morning

This is it..... Long Road on a grey Friday morning,

at first sight an unremarkable bit of road, with weeds pouring over from the unkempt

railway on the pavement side. A few oaks trees clinging on at the side of a  field, and a grass

verge that no one walks on but the council keep mowing on the other. A bridge taking traffic onto the A3

to London or Portsmouth halfway down, and a bit of unloved  scrub land beyond with abandoned farm vehicles.

.....but on closer inspection

.....it is wonderful what you can find

......living there.
