“I love your eyes when you look away
Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be
When they’re suddenly blue for a moment of time
Then the colour goes when you look at me
I love your hands as a part of you
As they write a word just by staying still
When you talk they move, painting what you say
So I understand more than words can tell
I love your hair in the dark it's soft
In the light it moves, red and green are brown
All the time it takes for a night to pass
And a lifetime grows as the day comes down
I love you now as you don't love me
I can't let you know you're too far away
But I wonder now just what did you see
When you looked at me in that loveless way”

“What was I doing, walking these long roads every day, with trucks hurtling by our tiny wagon, and my dog in danger? If anybody had asked me, I would not have known what to say. I'm just leaving London never to return, I would maybe have said. I'm going to learn how to make my own kind of life away from the madness of war and injustice - even if the madness is in me and the war has always been playing out in my head.”

“When my father's younger brother Jim was demobbed from the war, he helped to build up the farm with a new cowshed and a barn for the hay. My first memories are of the enormous backsides of the cows, the collecting of bantam eggs and the warm safety of the kitchen where Grandma Bunyan baked bread in the big black cast-iron cooking range, and churned the butter. I always imagined this was her way of life, only later realising that she was recreating scenes from her own childhood - as I would go on to do from these moments in mine.”
