I’m sitting in the garden, once again, this time reading Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine.
It’s summer. I can smell summer; taste summer. My jackdaws are lining up along the neighbour’s rooftop, tethered by the sun.
It’s in the autumn I’ll think of my father; my grandparents, see the young ghosts of my brother and I playing cricket in the ginnel, dwarfed by walls I can comfortably peer over.
For now, it’s my children, playing with the dog as I pause to watch, mid-sentence, laughing on the threshold of a great beyond.
My fav Ray Bradbury novel…how are you finding it, is it a re-read?

No it’s my first time, turned to it after reading his Zen book that you brought to my attention. At first I wasn’t too sure, but now a third of the way through it and enjoying it.

I’ve just seen that there are four books set in Green Town, and I’ve read Something Wicked so after this one just two to go. And I’m a bit of a completist!

A good one! Hope you enjoy! Some authors have such a rich body of prose. You can’t help turning to them again and again.
