delayed

8th August 2026, Warkworth, 6:30am

A beautiful morning for a run.  When I got up to the Alnmouth cross it was just too beautiful to rush back again... 

I’m meant to be on my way 
But I was delayed 

You see the sun was just up 
And the sea was shining 
Curlews were calling from the sand 
(And I haven’t heard them all summer) 
House martins and swallows 
Young and old 
Swooped over my head 
And linnets sang 

The only sounds were nature 
Wind, sea, birdsong. 

I’m meant to be on my way 
But I was delayed
