Back on Track – Blog 89 by Ms Paige Turner
Stranraer
Dawn yawns.
My plump feet on platform four where
porters swoop,
gulls beckon.
London nightmares forgotten.
Ferry flurry
for Larne crossing
and the smell of morning
spreads like salty butter
on ten o’clock soda bread.
Old summers live on
in my giddy head.

I’ve been to Belfast, my dad’s home town in the last couple of weeks so those ‘old summers’ on the sleeper train from King’s Cross to Stranraer and then the boat across the seas to Larne in Ulster have been much to the front of my mind. Planes do it so quickly these days. I’ve also been on my fourth residence at Cambridge and completing my fourth assignment for my Masters so busy, busy. I was very pleased to be highly commended in the Words for the Wounded Prose and Poetry comp this year.
My blog is back on track with a new host and less spam.
