Looking into the window of Davies' Pharmacy ...

This morning, I bought some Hagen Daz and raspberries for my mum and dad - my mum said her legs felt wobbly - she couldn't manage the walk to Waitrose - 

I left my dad in his chair, reading The Times - he asked me who Dolly Parton was - 

On my way to Waitrose, I passed Davies' Pharmacy, just beyond the Meridian Centre, between Costas and Cafe Nero -  

I paused to admire the severe facade of the pharmacy - there were old medicine bottles for sale in one of the windows -

I gazed at the shining iconic vessels - I thought of apothecaries, and then of Keats - 

I turned away - two tattooed women sat smoking outside Cafe Nero -
