I keep trying to work out when it became enough to simply be finished. Maybe it was the morning Dad's old wagon wouldn't start and nobody cried, not even Nan. Maybe it was simpler than that. I found the word on the inside of the lid of the tin where he kept his greasepaint, scratched in his neat schoolroom hand, and I have stopped looking for a grander ending than that.

I am writing from the caravan at Stamford. Come and fetch me on Saturday if you can. Bring the good kettle. We will sit on the step and see what the weather decides.
