Spring. Early morning. Not particularly chilly.

A fox’s bark cold and sharp.

A shiver runs through me.

I seek the warm sanctuary of my bed.

I am reblogging this post about one of my favourite historic houses in the city of my birth, Liverpool. I never tire of visiting Speke Hall and the surrounding woodland. Kevin

The moth to the flame turns.

Humans can discern. Yet to the pyre we turn.

Will we ever learn?
