We'd talked about the Hangers Way - tomorrow, we will walk from Alton to Hawkley - I looked forward to entering a world of hollow lanes -
On the way to Adelphi Books, I saw a duck mask in the window of a fancy dress shop -
The bookshop was empty save for the two of us - the proprietor looked out from his nest of Arrow paperbacks -
I thumbed through Uncharted Seas and Shafts of Fear -
Light streamed in through the doorway over a scree of books -
I bought a biography of Augusta Leign -
Later, we might drink dark ale in The Hole in the Wall -
