Homage to Winifred

Winifred Nicholson, that is - she of the pot-wrapped flowering plants. I wrote a bit about them here, and think of them often.

These were sitting in the sunny corner of Minkies deli, Chamberlayne Road, where we seem to be lunching rather often lately. The sandwiches are substantial, the music doesn't jaggle the nerves (though sometimes an overheard conversation will), and among the books lying around for dipping into are some hardbacks by Barbara Kingsolver.
