The Old School Building

I meet E, and she has had her baby, or is it her second baby? I
hold her baby, she is very tiny, and I wrap a towel around her to keep
her warm.

Me and james are visiting this big old building which is being done up.

There is lots of building work going on, inside and outside.

An old school runs here now, and James has got a job teaching music,
but he is often helping some people out with building jobs too,
because he has good ideas and strength.


The building needs lots of work, james is outside, telling them to
shift the rubbish gravel in the yard and replace it with sand. There
are a number of out buildings, it is in a flat area, it is a stone
built house, and I think we are in oxford somewhere.

I go exploring the grounds of this big building. I climb over a fence,
and step on a nail, but it doesn't go into my foot, it only penetrates
my shoe. Lucky.

I see a little river below me. It runs under the house. It used to be
a sewer drain, but no-more. Now they have a sustainable system for
human wastes.

I am looking for a vegetable garden. Somewhere to the south side of
this building in the grounds, is an old walled garden, which can be
renovated and got back into use.

One of the classes comes out to go for a walk, and all the kids wander
off to the sea. It is really beautiful by the sea, I become emotional,
the combination of the open space, with the wind and waves, the sounds
and smells of the seaside, makes emotion well up inside of me.

I go swimming in the sea. Lots of people are out surfing. My mum is a
life guard. I swim outside the designated territory so she calls me
back to get in the safe area. The ocean waves are big, 

and powerful and its dangerous out here...
