I'd gaze into a mirror, to see Christmases to come ...



Sophie gave wise counsel in The Salt Pig - 

Anne put down her Samsung - 

My dad had been restless this afternoon - 

Christmas isn't Christmas without whiskey he'd told one of the carers - 

The Salt Pig was closing early - splendid lobsters were reprieved - 

Walking up North Street, I gazed up at the Christmas lights - 

I saw chimneys outlined against the dove blue sky - 

Soon it would be dark - 

Back in The Old School House, we'd drink mulled wine - 

I'd read a ghost story by Oliver Onions - 

I'd gaze into a mirror to see Christmases to come -
