You can reach Penberth by sea or by roador by steep cliffside paths.
If you walk down through the valley
on the narrow road
you will hear only the sound of the streamas it plunges between trees
and soft areas of tiny white daffodils.
There are wild violetsand fern fronds beginning to uncurl.
Do you love this house? I do!It is beside the road
but I don't think that I would mind.
It is a very beautiful roadand leads to the sea
where winding gear pulls small boats
onto the safety of the cobbled slipway.
Somewhere on this roadI laid down my burden of sadness.
It didn't seem worth the effort
of carrying it up the steep path
to the gorse-gold cliffs.

Lovely. I like how we are synchronised...I stay up late. Juat late enough to catch the early edition of the Magpie Files. I hope your burden stayed down there.
Is it Poppy ?
Its understandable.
That should be 'just'.
(Its late)
There can be no sadness behind your sensitive camera lens, just a sense of peace and calm.
Those photographs were worth waiting a couple of week for....
That's beautiful - both the pictures and the writing.
I am fully prepared to come visit you at that house, if you "consenta" (my word verification).
Lovely! The photos are a delight, especially the unfurling fronds.
Gorgeous! I think I might have to move into that cottage too! Sounds like you had a lovely break. x
Wonderful seeing 'my patch' through your eyes!
Very lovely photos. I hope all is well, and your sadness stays where you left it.
I need some Cornwall. Some sea air.
Beautiful!

I love that place so much.
So glad to hear the sadness has been left behind. I hope it doesn't try to come home on its own. Great to have you back too. I've missed you.
