Monday 7th November (There's a Nip in the Air)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a clear sky. The dawn was still breaking and a few grey clouds could be seen in the distance. Looking onto the parked cars below Mr. Kite could see that Jack Frost had paid a little visit leaving a thin layer of frozen condensation on the windscreens. The 'nip in the air' was joined by two black-headed gulls that flew above the road. Mr. Kite had a theory about these gulls and that is they were looking for discarded chips.

As the morning progressed the clouds became thicker and darker turning a clear sky into a murky day with that nip still in the air. In the morning Mr. Kite and His Lady traveled to The Church of St. Gregory the Great in Morville to tidy The Special Grave. The grass was trimmed, weeds removed and flowers laid. Today the fog was descending and the birds were hidden. A glimpse of a wood pigeon, a common pheasant and a small flock of starlings was about Mr. Kites lot.

So with a nip in the air, birds rare and the comfort of a chair Mr. Kite and His Lady returned to The Residence for a tipple of Tetley tea. Cheers on a dull, dreary November day.
