The tiniest moments of recollection
Colin’s dog. Kizzie. Black, smooth haired
Roasting fallen apples on the central-heating vent
Squatting on concrete slabs playing Action Man
Brian, leaving for Australia
Sitting in Mrs Gamzus’ class
British bull-dog head-injury
Blue-tits and compromised aluminium milk bottle tops
Frozen attic windows
Apple-pie
Stockinged feet radiator
Jerry-Lang fishmonger
Jumble-sale and bric-a-brac
High-stakes Scrabble and red woollen jumpers
Summer nights and late to bed
Scraping ice from Mini windows
Morecambe and Wise
The Daily Record
38A to Rouken Glen
Snottites rolling down the railway bridge
Crinkly Voorsht fried with eggs
Mrs Firth, you still send shivers down my spine
