INTERACTION: your presence makes a difference

[AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION]OLDTON

DEAR TIM,

DO YOU REMEMBER THE ALLOTMENTS?

I CAN'T PLACE THEM ANYWHERE BUT

OUR UNCLES AND OUR GRANDADS HAD

THEIR SHEDS THERE, WHERE OLD

PICNIC CHAIRS TOOK ON THE AIRS OF THRONES AND DENTED THERMOS

FLASKS GAVE OFF A SCENT OF SUGARED MILK.

WE ATE PEAS THERE, FROM THE POD.

“THIS PARK BENCH LOOKS REMARKABLY LIKE THE ONE IN YOUR FIRST OLDTON PICTURE. I USED TO HANG OUT ON IT WHEN I WAS A BORED TEENAGER WITH NOTHIN BETTER TO DO THAN DRINK CIDER, SMOKE MENTHOLS AND SNOG THE LOCAL BOYS (THERE WAS A BOY CALLED TIM BTW WHO I REALLY FANCIED)”

“I MET A LADY LAST YEAR WHO TOLD ME

TO WRITE YOUR NAME ON A PIECE OF

PAPER, ATTACH IT TO A BALLOON, AND

THEN LET GO.INSTEAD I MADE YOU A

ROOM, PLAYED YOU SONGS, GOT DRUNK AND

IMAGINED YOU WALKED IN AND GAVE ME

YOUR JUMPER TO WEAR.”

“OLD MISS SEEWOOD, OVER 150 YEARS OLD AND LIVED BY THE RIVER. SHE CAUGHT ME THROWING STICKS AT HER HORSE CHESTNUT TREE AND INVITED ME IN TO HER COTTAGE. THINKING SHE WAS A WITCH I AGREED.”

IS THIS MY DAD HARD AT WORK IN THE BRUSH FACTORY AS A LAD, MAYBE?
