Time to get Foxy!
Well...what a dreadful day weather-wise today has been. It has rained all day long. I've been glad to be able to spend the day at home, getting on with a few jobs around the house. One of those jobs was changing our lightweight summer duvet for the heavier Spring/Autumn one and digging out the brushed cotton sheets for the colder weather. I think this must be the latest in the year that we've made the changeover.
I remember this poem from my childhood.
Bed in Summer by Robert Louis Stevenson
In Winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle light.
In Summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street.
