Morning after the Heatwave Broke
Morning after the Heatwave Broke
We have been having record temperatures for many weeks now and then the heatwave broke as the storms arrived.
The wind was so strong it made my eyes stream and it whipped up the white horses on the Solent waters.
Kipling wrote about the White Horses of the Sea in 1897
"Girth-deep in hissing water
Our furious vanguard strains --
Through mist of mighty tramplings
Roll up the fore-blown manes --
A hundred leagues to leeward,
Ere yet the deep is stirred,
The groaning rollers carry
The coming of the herd!"
