Stone & Seaweed

I had an hour to kill in the town next to mine. It’s similar except not. This is a posh town. Gordon Brown lives here. I used to work in a call centre with someone from here who was his neighbour. If you don’t know who he is, that’s okay, I wouldn’t if I were you either. He was a Prime Minister a long while ago now. Back when things in British politics looked very different. Back before the Tories had their decade long (and counting) rule over these united lands. It’s an ancient town with a railway bridge running over and if you stand directly underneath as a train trundles past, it feels, very briefly, as though the world is going to end. Maybe one day, it will.
