We live life forwards, but understand it backwards. It's a personal journey, either way. The characters in this collection are in their 'golden years', looking back through half-shaded landscapes of memory, in stories uplifting and regretful, comic and sinister, poignant and optimistic. Common ground is that moment of realisation - eventful, fleeting or veiled - unearthed on a journey into the past. Will 'Ruby, the Silver Surfer' learn to cut and paste and save? Who is 'Mrs Melanie'? Should 'Billy the Quid' sell up? Can Frank Smith cope with being an 'Old Man in a Young Pub'? Why is Lydia 'Sleepless in Southampton'? 'What's in your bag, mister?' asks the small boy in 'A Bag for Life'. See for yourself.
