I whizzed down Castle Street as fast as I could. Even so my bike couldn’t carry me fast enough to reach EF at the junction. As she turned right on to Queen Street she called back cheerily “Thanks for the calendar you sent for Christmas!” What calendar? Which Christmas? I was pretty sure I hadn’t seen EF in person since December 2008. She vanished eastwards at such speed that it was impossible to catch her and discover the answers to my questions.
