Cottage- object writing exercise Dec 25
admin December 25th, 2007
Its a small thing, at the end of a garden filled with welcoming plants that are all putting out their hands to shake yours saying “hello”. It feels very friendly. The gate creaks as I pass through and the latch catches back into place behind us as we walk up to the front door. The instructions say there’s a meter board at the side of the house. Vines cling to me like whispy fog as I sidle around. I’m starting to feel like these plants are more than alive! Spooky. Back at the front door she has made an entrance and is busy re-arranging the furniture. The air smells of a recent fire that has played itself out in the potbelly.
The kitchen is modest but functional. I go outside to turn on the gas so we can get the kettle on. As I fill the kettle she’s busy gathering twigs and small bits of wood from the flotsam and jetsam that crowns the garden. Something to get the fire crackling as soon as possible. It’s a bit nippy and the forecast is for showers and an overnight low of 9 degrees celsius.The kettle is hissing and cracking on the stove, it’s yawn from being awakened again. Once it gets used to us being here it’ll just get straight into the solid chug it needs to do.
Looking around the walls are boards of treated pine slotted together in a diagonal pattern then stained with a light varnish. The floors are polished boards that echo every footfall except in the lounge which has a large Indian rug, slightly frayed at the edges. As the night consumes the last of the sun I put the two steaming mugs on the kitchen table which affirms our presence with a solid knock as the mug hits the surface. A bit of hot water and a bag of tea can do wonders. The bedrooms are separated into two areas. The master bedroom with the view out to the ocean through the living garden and the two back bedrooms in a different wing. The beach is a short stroll across the road and down some steps.
