My brief reverie was interrupted with the familiar creaking of the gate opening. This was followed by a few footsteps up the path but they stopped suddenly.

“About what?”
“I woke you up.”
“No! Not at all!” I smiled. “I was just enjoying the sun and the birds. Come, sit down and I’ll get some tea for you.”
As I rose, she put up a hand and stopped me. “Can you hear the sloshing from there?”
