From my third floor balcony I have a lovely view of Sitges Promenade and Church
In a corner near the beach steps is a single rainbow bench
It's a favourite meeting place of couples, straight and gay.
I've watched many during my time here
Meet, kiss, laugh, and argue there
This morning the bench is empty
I go home today.
The sky is blue
Just enough time for one more adventure on the bench. Saucy!
ReplyDeleteSafe journey home x
ReplyDeleteThe sky is blue here too...not so bad to come home!
ReplyDeleteNice x
DeleteThe bench is empty because you are coming home.
ReplyDeleteAnd will never be sat on again x
DeleteThese mini breaks do so much good for the soul. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

DeleteThose last three lines sound haiku-like. Hope it was the holiday you hoped for. Spain will miss you. It was nice knowing you were just up the coast (about 10 hours).
ReplyDeleteFeel bit emotional today
DeleteLots of reasons. X
I got that sense. Sending you a cyber abrazo (Spanish for hug).
DeleteSounds like you did a lot of contemplation while you were in Spain. Hope the future holds many good things for you...including more blue skies. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteSafe travel back home.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and take care :-)!
ReplyDeletehave a safe trip john. you are returning home to a new chapter of your life.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe flight home. I hope you have remembered to buy a souvenir straw donkey and a sombrero.
ReplyDeleteCan you get that bench in your carry-on luggage?
ReplyDeleteSafe travels back home...
ReplyDeleteI hope you're returning home feeling rested and relaxed!
ReplyDeleteSafe travel home and big thanks for taking time to post for all of us while you were on vacation. Hugs

Safe journey home to your pets and your lovely cottage. You will have been missed by both the pets and villagers.
ReplyDeleteSit on the bench before you go and see if anyone sits next to you! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to leave so soon but sometimes short and sweet is best.
ReplyDeleteI hope you briefly sat on it before you left.
ReplyDeleteSafe journey back ... the furries will be so pleased to see their Dad, even if you are briefly sent to Coventry by Winnie for leaving her 🙂
It's time to put the lovely thoughts of sun, sand, and Spain into your memory for later musing. Home and an joyful group of fur-babies await you at the end of the journey!
ReplyDeleteVaya con Dios and hugs!
Have a safe trip home. So glad you went.
ReplyDeleteYou probably don't know it,
ReplyDeletebut you are quite the poet.
(Yes, I know that's poor but even I have to come off my "intellectual" pedestal every so often to make room for my critics).
John, what you wrote is poetic, pensive, evocative, touching, conjuring up a vibe ... bitter and sweet. Just shows you, never judge a man by his crocs.
U
It sounds like you are starting a new like we all knew you could.
ReplyDeleteI've a spare bed and you'll always be welcome
I am sure that blue sky is an omen of better things to come. Give those four leggies a hug and they'll forgive you, especially if you have bought them an edible treat each.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo John, hope you arrive home with new and fresh memories as you start a new chapter in your life.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a fly on the wall and see the reaction of the dogs and Albert when they see you come through the door and welcome you home.
Healing, Cathartic, Restful
ReplyDeleteNow for the planning of new adventures
Here's a thought
Visit and stay with all of your/ us blog friends and write about these little trips.

ReplyDeleteMore hugs
DeleteFor fucks sake where is he?
DeleteHugs ..
The last day of a holiday is always kind of a downer, isn't it? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteStill, the memories...
That bench will always be there, John....waiting for your return. It's good to have a place where you feel safe and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteA good vacation!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home and have a good night's sleep in your own bed! Will Winnie, Mary, and Albert be joining you?
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Hope you rested and had some Fun! It looks like a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a cute little bench!
XoXo
My Irish F-in-law always said "Safe home". Hoping summer sun gave you some Vit D.
ReplyDeleteCome visit my site. This post is all about cow dung. Life is kinda like that.
Even the rainbow must end sometime.
ReplyDeleteBut it'll be back; it always comes back.
