Guest For Breakfast
9 June 2022

So it’s a fine rain outside, and the giant umbrellas provide ample shelter. We figure, let’s have breakfast outside – with the rain falling around us. That’s when this cheeky guest shows up. First, he cautiously danced around us – flirting but with good escapes ready. Then he moved closer. Eventually, he had some of our toast and sat with us. I’m assuming this is a Red Robin, or a red chested robin, or some such creature. When going for a breakfast at a stately country manor, surprises from mother nature herself on top of everything else – well, it just lets you know you’re in the right place.

Peter van der Walt is a fiction author, although you may find some non-fiction and the odd essay out there. Fans can find his newsletter, posts, updates and developments at petervanderwalt.com. Currently, he is hard at work on his next story. When not writing, he has far too many interests to reasonably keep up with. He lives with his partner in Devon, England.
