Bank Holiday Haiku

Easter Bank Holiday has passed - and so differently to previous years spent with family in Cornwall. I spent the weekend cooking, and enjoyed some wine I bought with winnings from the virtual Grand National earlier this month...

Haiku

A perfect white wine 

is sharp, sweet and cold as this:

birdsong in winter.

It took me about a month to finally choose my new bag, bought with my Grand National winnings. The sale assistants in pretty much every shop in Westfield must have been getting so bored of seeing me struggle over the decision. I'm in love with it and find myself proudly standing around showing it off whenever I get the chance.
