A house in the hills, a verandah of cane chairs, a nursery of young trees and a pavilion at the edge of the slope, facing the range.
The light changes on those hills every twenty minutes. It is more news than anyone needs.
There is nothing to do here. Most guests get the hang of it by the second day.
Members are admitted on one condition. That they leave.
The sky does something worth getting up for. You may, or may not.
The verandah. The cane chairs have heard everything. They repeat nothing.
The nursery could use a hand. Saplings are poor conversationalists and excellent listeners.
The pavilion. The range. The only screen that has never needed charging.

The best view in the house has no password.
You don't need a holiday. You need an absence.
Nothing happened all weekend. That was rather the point.
