Here we are then folks, my contribution for this month’s theme that, stupidly, I’d chosen.
The song? “Nights in White Satin”, released by The Moody Blues as a single in 1967. And at one stage became one of my all-time favourites for reasons that you’ll have to guess!
And now the connection to Summer…
Nothing obvious, though the song is evocative to me of a particular time, long long ago and far far away.
Picture the scene…
Warm summer evening, light just gone from the sky. Bedroom window, wide open, curtains moving gently in the softest of breezes.
Side-table, bottle of wine, two glasses… one empty, the other almost so.
Incense perfuming the air with lazy drifts of smoke. Tapering black candles flickering. Music playing softly in the background.
Large four-poster bed, covered only with white satin sheets, somewhat creased now…
…and there I shall leave it.
Mustn’t say too much now, must I? Heh heh.
But ah, such memories!

This is one of my favorite songs! Such a wonderful song. The photo is wonderful. Such a great shot.
Thanks Tam
I was anticipating all sorts of difficulties with it and, once again, had left it until nearly the last moment. Which only served to increase my concerns.
But once I started to set things up it turned out to be surprisingly easy. Almost an anticlimax in fact.
Nice!
I’m going to guess that the story ends in some sort of Dungeons and Dragons game, right?
And you have taken an interesting picture. Did you work with a created “stage” for it, or is this really the bed?
Dungeons and Dragons eh? Yeah. Right. And there was me, wielding my huge… er, no… best not say that had I?
