Time Warp

Lying in bed enjoying a Saturday morning
view of the Wrekin, we received a text
from a friend who’d just been mugged
in Nairobi. An experienced traveller, he knew
the risks; took all the precautions, but he
wouldn’t be eager to leave the hotel again.

Two minutes later, my daughter phoned
in tears. Her car had been broken into
during the night. It occurred to me
they’d made very good speed to get
all the way to Shrewsbury in so short a time.
Just for a camera, a stereo and some old CDs.
