Suddenly I realise how far we are from home But Dad always says If you get lost just head back up the hill and sure enough I can still see the roof of our house over the trees 8
Back home we're too hot to play anymore We lie on the kitchen floor trying to catch grapes in our mouths Mum and Dad are outside collecting fallen branches 9

Afternoon blurs into evening and Mum keeps working in the garden while Dad heads to the kitchen He holds a glass of whiskey in one hand wooden spoon in the other stirring a pot of onions over the stove Music escapes through the screen door 11
