Leaving

We’re off in a bit to Kilmartin. We’ll be back in three days. We’ll stay on the Argyll coast, with friends of Mum’s. I want to be there already, and I loaded our stuff in the car yesterday. Mum takes her time shutting up the house, and I turn around, nibbling on a muffin. She calls me at last – everything’s set. I run off to join her.
