The blue table


There is a round blue table
Which follows me around


And appears when I least expect it!
Small and squat


And painted iconic Greek blue,
She is warm and inviting


And her legs are uneven
Threatening spillage at the most awkward of times


As she attempts to straddle uneven paths and balconies.
But never mind, ‘tis a mere bagatelle


For she is like an old friend
And I am always so happy to see her


As I greet her fondly…
And sit beside her smiling quietly to myself.


For simplicity is the key


To this little blue table

  
...which follows me everywhere!

  1. This is absolutely beautiful. Nothing captures Greece in my mind better than those small blue tables, as they and their blue chairs conjure up memories of blue flower pots, blue skies, blue water and the ubiquitous contented cats. Lovely.

    1. Yes!! Though hopefully I'll come to Sydney before then. A weird summer here and I fear I'll be missing my Corsican camping holiday because of Book 2! X

  4. Oh yes, THE beautiful blue table - we've just given ours a new coat of bright blue paint. I was sad to see British Racing car green ones on sale this week though! Wonderful photos. Jx
