88 An afternoon at Wrabness (part 2)
Leave a reviewAbove the mud silt beach, it’s all bright clouds, moving. Then the sun breaks through. The river is stretching wide here, left to right, silently carrying the land’s outflow through marshes, and out to sea. Warm wind blows in between long spells of calm. Close by, on the tree holding the microphones, and almost within touching distance, small waxy leaves rustle in the summer breeze.

Above the mud silt beach, it’s all bright clouds, moving. Then the sun breaks through. The river is stretching wide here, left to right, silently carrying the land’s outflow through marshes, and out to sea. Warm wind blows in between long spells of calm. Close by, on the tree holding the microphones, and almost within touching distance, small waxy leaves rustle in the summer breeze.
The tide’s falling. Wind is pushing against the moored boats opposite and setting them swaying. In jolly colours they rock to and fro, like bath toys, masts knocking, ringing, bell-like. Mid-stream, marine vessels plough comfortably by. As they pass they make slow moving delta waves. V-shaped echoes, that travel along behind, and sideways, expanding, so that eventually, they wash up along the shallow shore, in clean bright, rinsing waves.
Gulls over the water. Wood pigeons in the trees. A mistle thrush too, somewhere far out to the left, Sounding something like a blackbird, still just practising his song. This is quiet time, in a place beside wide water. A place, beneath an open sky, that’s not sea nor river, but estuary. Tidal, yet calm. Wild, yet sheltered. A place that’s good for afternoon people.
