Indian Summer

 

An Indian Summer envelopes Dieppe in a warm embrace.

Its languid heat clears the broad quayside boulevard of Sunday pedestrians.


Sends them to seek the cool shade of leafy squares. . . .


. . . .beneath airy balconies.


Where birds serenade from the telephone wires.


And church bells peel across the rooftops.


The air hangs torpid and still, in the harbour.

Tomorrow a light easterly breeze is forecast. Bringing Stargazer the potential to play the apparent wind game, on the morning tide.
