I'm well aware that at the back of my mind, thumping quietly like a drumbeat, are the twin horrors of Guilt and Panic.
If I let them, they'd swoop into my mind and take over. I'd feel completely paralysed with misery and fear.
So the trick I've learned is simply not to listen. I close off the back of my mind and then nothing worries me. It's simple self-defence. My mind is very well trained like that.

And suddenly, at the sight of a scarlet Pringle golfing jumper, I feel tears of relief springing to my eyes. There's one place I can go. One place I can always go.
