For a moment I caught a glimpse of bright trees and jewelled birds ...

I nibbled garlicky kalamari whilst Richard told us of his sister's visit - 

Saturday had been the anniversary of Pete's death - 

In the book of remembrance there was a picture of a rock face with flowers he said - 

Richard's brother had shared the air with peregrines - 

Now Richard wore his brother's fleece - 

Anne ate piquant mucver - 

We heard anguished singing - 

Outside The Bodrum night fell on the Victorian terraces - 

Later, we drank porter in The Leopold -

Bull necked men were drinking Ghost Ship - 

The pub menu was blu tacked to the wall - 

I wondered who last asked for chorizo and onion marmalade - 

Phil's got a flight to Bangkok Richard said -  I'm might go out with him - he's thinking of going on to Cambodia - then going up the river to Ventiane - 

 

One of the pub doors was opened - 

For a moment I caught a glimpse of bright trees and jewelled birds -
