The Road Home

It’s never too late to set out, for there is a Glee Club party on tonight at Creel HQ.  It’s all part of a reciprocal arrangement with folk who stay down on the Lash.  Scullion  has dusted down his megaphone for announcements (he invariably talks through the wrong end).  As do all politicians.  He just informed me he has put a little mint on all of the guests pillows and Blanche stood on his shooders as she polished the chandelier (there was a lot of spitting involved).  The Current Mrs Creel has pulled together an amazing menu that features her pear pudding – previously weel kent in Buchan.

As final preparations are underway Scullion indicated to me, sotto voce, that Igor has been sent back to Dudinka.  Apparently he had been frightening Mrs Patterson’s hens.*

Should I be reading Tony Judt?
