BOTTLING UP
Vinnie
began collecting glass marbles when she was small, loving the way they changed
the sunlight into magic.
When she started
earning pocket money she progressed to old medicine bottles, and by the time
she met Dean she had hundreds.
‘Stupid’
he called them when he was sober – when he was drunk he simply broke them,
often on Vinnie’s head.
She began
seeking out the murky ones in flea-markets, washing them out meticulously when
she got them home.
When Dean
died in agony, forensics couldn’t isolate what had killed him from the cocktail
of ancient poisons in his system.

Why am I packing and selling? We have sold our apartment in Tenerife and will be moving back to Sussex in September. All our famile bar one live in the UK and as we get older we want to be closer than two thousand miles.
