Fingers crossed

My bags are packed and soon – I hope – I will be enjoying the enormous canvas of the English sky

And the golden sight of the rolling Sussex Downs.

My optimism is tinged with a little fear as a volcano in Iceland has inconveniently erupted

And may cause chaos and cancelled flights.

And that would be a bitter disappointment because family awaits in England

Including a sister I haven’t seen in four years.

So, fingers crossed we achieve lift off in order to enjoy

The joys of family, a country where the chimneys, like the people, are eccentric –

And who knows? We might even enjoy a little rain.

After all, this is England we’re talking about!

I have a couple of posts scheduled for you to enjoy while I’m away. But do forgive me in advance for not visiting you all in the next week.
