I meant to post this a few weeks back: the dramatically lovely stage curtain from Noel Coward's 'Hay Fever' in The Gate. Never have I been so happy for intermission to continue...
And this, the single chilli that my little chilli plant produced this year. That little bundle of heat spiced up some zesty lemon & coriander hummus :-)

Your little gardening references reminded me of something .....
AFTER PEOPLE
(John Berry)
Weed,
briar
and the suffocating scramble of lacquered ivy.
Rustling rats,
and the cries of feral dogs.
The caw of crows.
Highgate's gates open.
Here a thread of sweet-pea,
light scented harmony to the
wild grown lilies.
Home to bees who hum a memorium,
"there were others too,
who planted seeds of loveliness
in the City's small spaces
and the little lost corners of the heart".
Beautiful - I had never read that. City life still has me hankering for air and light and night skies and expanses of green... nurturing loveliness in the small spaces is a good approach :-)
Thank you for sharing it.
