ditto that

I love steak and chips and onions and sweetcorn and peppercorns and ketchup. Sometimes on the same plate too.

I love the smell of new-fallen rain, after a summer shower has alighted on freshly-cut grass without any dog excrement in it. I love getting PM’s from people I haven’t previously bribed. Although I love bribing people as well, and can grease a palm more spectacularly than the sleaziest entrepreneur in the Casbah. I loved the way my aunts and uncles used to turn up on Boxing Day with the gifts my parents couldn’t afford, and now enjoy explaining basic Marxist-Leninist theory to them.

I love it when winter falls early, and the snow lays deep and I laugh at the northerners laughing at us, while birds in reverberating flocks haunt the sudden onset of whiteness; and after when bright plenteous berries hang in clusters in the air, and seeing dark icy pools in the fountain, whereupon a small and sanguine sun floats mirrored.

I love spinning pebbles across the water like any fool would, but also the dark thundery nights with the wind-shaken chimney and when the room electrifies ahead of the inevitable rumble.

But most of all, I love the small unseen kindnesses that people do, for which they neither expect nor receive reward, and on which this planet turns.
