My brother

Has been so good to see my brother
A quick visit from Chicago

Out for dinner a couple of night’s ago
Followed by cocktails on the harbour front
Early evening drinks, at Porthmeor West
Still very warm
Sister-in-law and brother

Me, sister-in-law, brother, sister, niece, husband
Lengthening shadows
Down the steps to a perfect spot
Saying toodle ooo
And off they go, across the top of Porthmeor, (which is still very busy at 7:30pm this evening).

The Blue Pool, Wareham, Dorset
A warm and humid walk around the lake
We stopped for coffee and cake
Looking through the trees
Gary pushed his mum all the way around
A 1km loop, across bumpy terrain
A peaceful vista
Then onto the Cake House, at East Creech Farm
Where I had to try the Baileys Cheesecake 😘
