Quercus is the latin prefix for the oak genus, and I suppose our English 'cork' comes from it. Cortiço in Portuguese. Hawthorn hedgerows with their trunks pleached and growing horizontal in a tangle of trimmed branches. I would not try to climb through that. Not with graying gorse or thorns. Not through a rabbit hole would I go through those hedges. Just at the rusting gate. Hopping over, tramping through the fields.
Wednesday evening, 3 weeks in Wales. Unbelievable. You can never tell, once you're sunk in, how deep you are. Only after emerging...but one doesn't bring a yardstick to measure these things. The only way is to look at the old world of home and see what has changed in your reflection.

Now that I've had a relaxing hiatus from the responsibility of sharing writing, I'll be retro-posting for a bit. I have been writing, just not on a computer!
