Caught in A Rainstorm

Coming back to the city. That I never quite leave.

Picture you be the ocean. Picture me coughing into my sleeve.

Like a snake eating snake you confuse me. Who's killer. Who's captive. Who's free.


In a city that kills by constriction. Throw your streets around me and squeeze.

And draw down the stars. Draw down the stars.

What's in your heart?*


I love Glasgow, even when it's raining.


* Lyrics from Tom McRae's Draw Down The Stars.

Oh Heather, they're lovely. You make it look beautiful, despite the rain!

I found this post really poignant. I loved the pictures and the words make it. Sometimes only home will do. It is what draws us and holds us when nothing else quite reaches us. Sometimes a place can know more than a person what we really need.

And sometimes...rain is so much more healing than sunxxx

Hi H nice photo's mate. I love a good rain storm (which is good as I sheltered from a few when I was on holiday) Glasgow looks kinda nice in the rain

I'm not sure that I'd ever be able to make Bexleyheath look beautiful, even on a balmy summer's eve, and even if I had great photographic skills.

Thanks for the link by the way! Much appreciated.

Hi gorgeous Heather

I love that - it was like watching a short film - it all really came to life for me.

Take care and thanks for the link - you are on my list I've just got to stop being a lazy got and update my blogroll!

Marvellous set of pics there Heather :)

Wonderful pictures - I LOVE the rain, which always helps :) Plymouth in the rain can look either windswept and glorious (if you're on the Hoe - no "posh pimp" comments please!) or absolute shite if you're trying to get from Woolies to Smiths without getting soaked.
I think, actually, I'll stick to a) Bodmin Moor or b) the north coast of Cornwall when it's wet.
But those pictures are stunning :)

(ps - see? I made it back eventually, I'm a 'homing' blogger!)
