Hi Sally,
Thanks for the suggestions, they're useful, helpful! (H'm, I might replace 
the Co-op carrier bags with Tesco carrier bags! Because the day Tesco gets 
as far as Reeth is the day I don't want to see!)
I'll try and get an empty head over the next day or so and see if I can get 
surprised by or excited with and engrossed by this piece again.
Bob

>>Reeth is a small town in Swaledale, North Yorkshire. Maybe 2 pubs, maybe a

>>New Year’s Eve is a town like Reeth

>>with clinking bottles,( bags of pasta,) are carried from a car
>>that ticks in the damp air, its windows gleaming
>>(with lights) from the Christmas tree on the green.
>>Footprints on the moist pavement disappear.
>>The door closes shutting out darkness for the evening
>>until at midnight so many people, unfamiliar to the place,
>>stand outside, glasses in hand, listening to the air
>>(more than to each other,) their breath rising
>>to a drunken moon whose light hides many faint stars.
