Grey day to match the economic forecast.
Sombre minds debate the issues on the doorstep
Neighbour to neighbour
While a young child runs round in rings
Trying to make Daddy dizzy.
Rain comes down in light showers
Then clears
To let a sliver of sun shimmer through.
The little one looks up at the sky
And announces with all the gravitas
of a Commons Chancellor of the Exchequer
“Don’t worry Dad, it’s only a shower.”
Laughter rings out.
Confidence restored.
