Snow at Blackberry Farm


IT BEGAN TO SNOW
at Blackberry Farm just before tea.
Great, big, white flakes
slowly covered everything.
The animals peeped out to watch.


WHEN ERNEST
Owl looked out in the
middle of the night,
it was still snowing.
He watched for a little while and then went back to bed,
saying to himself:
'It will be very deep in the morning.'


For Il Fratello.

  1. Grazie mille! Yes, I immediately recognised the picture of the owl, and now other images are trickling down from Memory.
    Just back from The Berkeley where the waiter took us 'back stage' to see the kitchens and meet Marcus Wareing. Come eravamo eccitati!
