Lilies, lemon curd and lighting fires

1. My mother shows me the frame she has had made for my painting of lilies. It looks like someone else's painting now.

2. I make a slice of toast and spread it with sunny lemon curd bought at the Rosedale Show. One day I will make my own.

3. The sun leaves the garden so I take to dog up the road until the sun dips below Blakey. Then I come inside and light a fire, and watch the colours spread.
