Sunday slumber…

The coffee is warm, just right. Strong too, as is the dog smell emanating from the Labrador puppy sharing the sofa with me and my Dachshund in the corner. It’s drizzling outside despite the season and I’m waiting for a break to get out for a walk…

D2112 slumbers at the end of a siding at Paxton Road. It is Sunday. Just as I am enjoying some quiet time this morning, so is she… whilst I’m reading Peter Barnfield’s ‘Memories of the West Country’ she is remembering her youth working out of Hull before semi-retirement at Boston. Framed by the legs of the cement silo, itself void of custom, a sign of the general retreat of freight traffic from the railways in the 1980s and 90s before privatisation. 

The dogs slumber - the Dachshund even snoring.

The coffee is exhausted too - yet the book delights.

Pausing to enjoy this photograph before I press ‘publish’.

The sky is brightening and whilst it’s wet all around I’m looking forward to a walk to the station.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Until next time, more soon…
