Watching TV in the Premier Inn ...



We're watching TV in a Premier Inn bedroom - 

Timothy West and Prunella Scales are steering a posh narrow boat through a tangle of locks - 

The sky is a bright impossible postcard blue - 

Prunella's whispering some charming aperçu - 

Tim's being courtly and twinkly eyed -

Not far away is Staunton Road - 

My dad stood at the gate and saluted us when we left - 

My mum was still unsteady - 

She'd had a scare this morning with her sholley - 

I'd warmed her cold hands with my warm hands - 

I felt the world become more uncertain -
