A long drive to Sheffield, in strong wind and rain
Caught the tram into town
Quick walk round the new builds and to pay homage to the Crucible
Then to meet a distant cousin, cakes, coffees and gossip
Onto the hotel for disappointing food
Wide awake ready for the workshop
We were making a Japanese four sided book box
I was the one who struggled all day, please sir where does this go
But by the end the box was built, just some tarting up to do at home
An even more disappointing meal, when good food and drink were required
Back home, first to the woods to finish my roll
Over to Padley Gorge for the gnarled oaks
Long drive south, at least there was sun
