Cottage on the Cliff

Earlier in the year, we celebrated Pam’s birthday in River View, Iken Cliff above the River Alde.

 I was smitten! So we returned to celebrate my birthday.

                                                                            Arrival!

 

Moonshadows from

 the bedroom window at Iken Cliff

I had yearned to return,

to the cottage on the cliff

that overlooks The Alde.

 

Throughout our journey

(taken in a newly-acquired, used EV!),

I had fretted.

Maybe the retreat would not be

up to my high expectations.

 

We arrived in intermittent rain.

 

Leaving the car and rounding a corner;

kissing the far banks, a glorious rainbow.

 

The tide was full:

Joy in abundance.
