The rain poured down that day
Along the broken paths we walked
Over hidden stiles in thickets
Trails overgrown in undergrowth.

We walked into the sombre dusk
The shower lessened to a drizzle
Rural lanes through woods and fields
Waterlogged grass and muddy feet.

The lunchtime locals in the pub
Talked beetroot and fine white wine
For the forthcoming festive days
We sat and thawed over vegan beer
That winter day after Martinmas
Shivered with cold on the way home.
