Three Beautiful Things

September 20, 2008 6 comments

1. My new friend

The icecream van arrives in a burst of tinkly Greensleeves and movement in the park directs itself to the Claremont Road corner. A long-legged eight-year-old comes back to the family next to us and hands her mother some change: ‘There’s 60p less because I bought one for my new friend.’

2. Sharing small pleasures

‘I’ll give you one of my crisp fivers,’ says the lady in the coffee shop.

3. Notice

In my change is a note with ‘quit your job’ written on it.
