Aldersbrook cool ...

Sophie and Paul's front room overlooks Wanstead Flats - 

The wide windswept common is lapped by Victorian villas - towards the river, on the edge of vision, are the glass temples of Canary Wharf - 

Jazz should be playing in this room, I think - there should be spare, pared down, notes of a saxophone flickering over these stripped floorboards, perhaps some Coltrane - 

I would like to sit in this room, in the summer, bathed in pale light, delighting in Aldersbrook cool -
