Season of mist and poliitical fruitfulness
Season of mist and poliitical fruitfulness...I sense Autumn in the
air. The mellow mists float above and around Penrhos. And as we stand at
the bus stop the Sun gradually burns away the mist. My thoughts drift
to the unmade world beyond our holiday. The season of political
conferences beckon and the world awaits in all its possibilities and
permutations. This is lovely Autumnal day it's the first day I have worn
my battered jacket. I chat to Morlais at the bus stop. Morlais is
a retired miner. Twice a week he travels to Mumbles to buy bread. We
often chat and he often tells me of how Ystradgynlais has changed in
his eighty years.
The bus
arrives and we climb on. My thoughts shift to Madeira and the unmade
world beyond it fades. But rest assured my fine Bluekippers, Alt
Righters and narcissistic "libertarians" i am coming for you on my
return. And I can't leave out the right of the Labour Party... and the
masturbators of the nascent centre party . Be warned.. i resolve as
well to go to Phil Knights Neath Writers group too...
