Beech leaves

Emerging in the hedge just outside the front door of my building. I always think they look like insects emerging from a chrysalis. I was waiting for a lift to the house of one of the members of my literature class. There were just three of us - out of eight - which wasn't a very good omen for the term, when we need to choose one of the two possible tutors who will each do a session with us over the next two weeks, to start for real in the autumn. Still, the three of us had delicious cheese scones and talked about various possibilities for our collective future. 

The day turned sunny in the afternoon and after I got home I went out onto the back green where I found B sitting in the sun so I joined her.
