It occurred to me while walking along Mill
Lane and thinking about ghosts tonight that I
might one day walk along there as a ghost myself. I’ll be singing the first
verse of Raglan Road, no doubt, and
somebody will hear me and there will be a piece in the local paper entitled The Singing Ghost of Roston. T’will be
me!
And then I thought I might stand – invisible – in one of the
fields, calling
‘Saaaraah, Saaaraah, I’m cold Saaaraah. Let me in-a your window, please. It’s cold out here. Let me in.'*
That made me giggle. No worries, Sal. I’m sure that when I’m
dead I’ll have so many questions for so many people that I will have neither
the time nor the inclination to faff about haunting anybody. I’ll be too busy
driving the angels up the wall.
