Never go north of the M4 ...

I never go north of the M4 Paul said -

He turned to look at the framed photograph of Sean Connery -

The radio was playing a song by Cate le Bon -

Never he said -

It's too cold -

He picked up the frightening scissors -

I was in Essex once he said -

When I got out the car my jaw dropped -

It was freezing - my face was frozen - 

I turned to Liz - 

We're going I said -

We got straight back in the car -

I pictured the scene -

The grey promenade, the icy sea, the shuttered beach huts -

Paul and Liz, inside the big Passat, turning the heater on -
