Smouldering Rags <\/b><\/p>\n
Alice kept a newspaper photograph of a dead sculptor on her studio wall<\/p>\n
She was a potter and not particularly in interested in sculpture<\/p>\n
But she felt comfortable in his presence<\/p>\n
When her studio caught fire after the kiln overheated<\/p>\n
The only thing that she rescued was the newspaper cutting of the dead sculptor<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Five Waterspouts <\/b><\/p>\n
Peggy lived in coastguard\u2019s cottage<\/p>\n
One day during a storm at sea<\/p>\n
She saw five waterspouts<\/p>\n
Heading towards her home<\/p>\n
It was then that she knew<\/p>\n
That her sisters would be visiting<\/p>\n
She had trained to be a classical violinist<\/p>\n
But did not care for the fragile instrument<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1944<\/b><\/p>\n
In 1944 her father saw five waterspouts when at sea<\/p>\n
And wrote a letter to his future daughters<\/p>\n
Urging them to avoid waterspouts at all costs<\/p>\n
Happily Peggy\u2019s future father survived the war<\/p>\n
And became a classical violinist<\/p>\n
Until his death in 1967<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reunion <\/b><\/p>\n
In 1967 on the island of Reunion Peggy met Alice<\/p>\n
Whilst swimming and searching for serpents at sea<\/p>\n
They fell in love but did not meet again until 2017<\/p>\n
When they discovered each other again on<\/p>\n
The Railway Station of Lost Memories<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Blue Train<\/b><\/p>\n
For fifty years they had travelled together on the Blue Train<\/p>\n
Without seeing each other<\/p>\n
Alice had become a potter<\/p>\n
And Peggy a sculptor<\/p>\n
Who had refused to be photographed<\/p>\n
With her classical violins<\/p>\n
As she was much terrified<\/p>\n
Of the serpents within<\/p>\n
