London Pride ...

Seeing the bottle, I was back in the lounge of memory - 

Just back from Waitrose with my mum - 

I'll get him one she'd say - 

It's his treat - 

She'd reach out for the London Pride -

We'd walk back home through Wilkos - 

Those Saturday mornings - 

Caffe Nero - 

All Saints Church -

The boyos smoking outside The Prince of Wales -

My dad in his armchair -

Those moments - 

They're with me still - 

There, as I open this bottle - 

There, as I drink this glass -
