#margate

Events can be picnics. Or they can be catastrophes. Last week in Margate, the beach packed, Auntie Margaret saw the latter. Auntie Margaret watches too much TV about cataclysmic social destruction and she figured we had come upon a vast displacement - refugees of an unthinkable disaster further up the coast.

Its a pretty colour, I thought. The marigold trauma blankets. I also wondered where all the women and children were.

"They've shaved them already, poor things," said my cousing Stuie, who is soft-hearted/

Just then Auntie Margaret shrieked. One of them had snuck up behind her. He was offering her a flower and some beads. And also, a blessing.
