Now she's seventy, she enjoys
recalling certain moments
when she was young.
Early years in Egypt?
'My birthday party - picture this:
we English girls on camels
on a race around the Pyramids.
Yes, and the Sphinx.
Boarding school in Salisbury -
very strict discipline.
But after class, senior girls were free
to cycle for miles on the Plain.
Stonehenge - we propped
our bikes on the stones -
open and deserted but for us.
Another age, it seems.'
I waited for a third -
the Acropolis?
The talk swerved elsewhere.
Another time, I'll ask.
