Wood smoke 'cross the water
Canal in early light
Sign of fresh lit welcome fire
After the cold of night
Safely snug in narrowboat
The breakfast now prepared
Thoughts may turn to summer
A life afloat here shared
While down by sunlit Avon
A hardy cameraman
Seeks elusive kingfisher -
At least that is his plan.
