Shelter (Oliver Moxham, 21.1.2025) Oh, hello! I thought this nook was empty. Don't mind me, I just need to catch my breath, let the storm pass. Isn't it mad out there? Isn't it so grim? Goes straight to your bones. Aren't we lucky we found this place? I hope others are staying in. I'd murder a tea and a biscuit right now. Sometimes you have to go out, though, don't you. Sometimes you've got to pull on your waterproofs and face it. Sometimes you'd give anything to do anything other than what you have to do. 'course, then you just get on and do it, don't you. Sky'll clear any moment, now. Never lasts too long, does it. Aren't we lucky we found this place, though. Aren't we lucky.
