Wide Screen

 The big window in our bedroom that looks out across Eastbourne to the South Downs is one of the things that sold this house to me. I don't get bored with looking through it. The format is wide screen and things are always going on- things like birds, cats, occasionally foxes, bushes, trees, flowers, clouds, patches of sunlight and- at night- the lights of cars travelling the hidden roads or popping up suddenly on the crest of the hill alongside the arrangement of trees that looks at this distance like a little church with a squat square tower, Today we're promised rain- and I expect to spend some time sitting on my bed watching it fall.
