The smell of petrol ...



The smell of petrol was my madeleine - 

My dad's first car, a Vauxhall Viva - 

His car coat - 

His driving gloves - 

The number plate, 377D - 

His briefcase with the initials, JHB - 

The Ordnance Survey map - 

Later, the Radio Times opened before the Ferguson

All these things - 

There, in the driveway, under the pines, my eyes filled with tears -
