Forest Gate, said Paul, was coming up - Cross Rail was on its way - artisan bread was for sale in the shops near the tube station - Anne had read somewhere that Forest Gate would be the new Hoxton -
We called in for tonics at The Forest Tavern - I felt immediately at home inside this calm space, with its distressed walls and dream pop on the juke box - I glanced at the menu - perhaps one day I would try the Game Terrine -
We sat, with our tonics, our minds fizzing with plans - I thought of the post cards from Lublin I'd seen in the flat, the words of the Polish wife - so, you seek to make a nest for your daughter -
