it’s not sunshine in London that means summer is in its way, but days like this one that feel like they’re about to burst. overcast and shadowed but still warm, with rain clouds fattening overhead like water balloons

Parallel lines and a daub of red. Can't put my finger upon why this little building in the small coastal town of Newport, Pembrokeshire lifts the spirits - quite sublime. Vernacular at its best.
