I often visited my brother and his wife in their small line side cottage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colin worked for the railways as a crossing keeper on a lightly used line <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It had once been much busier before the southern rerouting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lived near a small fruit town which was always busy with itinerants <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who had come to pick the fruits as the season slowly matured <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katherine looked after an allotment behind their cottage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where they grew many vegetables for the kitchen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was made very welcome on each of my visits <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My brother always placed her sleepy grasses <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into my small room to help me relax in the heat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their cottage was also perfumed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By beautiful mimosa flowers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which left a sweet and honeyed scent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all rooms especially as the day faded
