The framed photographs on the mantlepiece -

Are you married? my mum asked me -

Yes I said, showing her a photograph of Anne on the I phone - 

Do you have a home? she then asked - 

Yes I said, showing her another photograph - 

There's the house - there's the apple tree - look, there are the apples on the branches - you've been to our home - 

She pointed to the framed photographs on the mantelpiece -  

Who are they? she asked - 

That's Sophie - that's Tessa - that's Lucille - that's me and Nick with you when we young -

Thank you she said - 

I often look at them and wonder who they are -
