My dad's world ...



We're sitting in the garden of The Old House at Home

I'm sipping a half of HSB

Totally different here says Anne - 

People going out - talking about different things - 

We left my dad in his armchair - 

He'd sat there since we got back from the Day Centre -

For years all they did was walk up and down to Waitrose Anne says - 

I think of my dad's world - 

There's the arm chair - 

There's the bellowing TV - 

There's the newspaper, slowly read - 

There's the diary, with the pages left unwritten -
