Went for a swim with the chaps. I couldn’t swim in my usual spot because someone had already bagged it on such a gorgeous, warm summers day (at last).
So I swam up the silt clogged arterial channel and thought of their ashes amongst the silty sediments feeding the water lilies and these beautifully deeply coloured devil’s-bit scabious. The pair of them were both a little devilish. They were so left-wing. I’ve deeply missed their respective,  intelligent and informed, understanding of history and politics over these months.
