The Long Weekend
Gravel. The barn ahead. Wind off the paddock.
This season
Low sun. Gravel. A coat never given back.
Six looks for the turn of the year. A stable yard. A reading room. The boot-room door. A wet morning in town. Wool, linen, leather rained on more than once.

AI-generated. We'd rather spend a photographer's fee on firewood. The real pieces may look different.

No. 1
Gravel. The barn ahead. Wind off the paddock.

No. 2
Nine-fifteen. Radiators knocking. A tie left loose.

No. 3
A waxed jacket by the boot-room door, still wet from whoever wore it last.

No. 4
Rain on the window. The spaniel in her lap.

No. 5
An umbrella shaken out in the hall, and the poodle, patient, on the stoop.

No. 6
Back from the sauna. Wet hair. The candles still going.
