Résumé
It is wonderfully peaceful to sit in bed with Iris reassuringly asleep and gently snoring. Half asleep again myself I have a feeling of floating down the river, and watching all the rubbish from the house and front our lives - the good as well as the bad - sinking slowly down through the dark water until it is lost in the depths. Iris is floating or swimming quietly beside me. Weeds and larger leaves sway and stretch themselves beneath the surface. Blue dragonflies dart and hover to and from by the river bank. And suddenly a kingfisher flashes past.
John Baylay is the author of Alice, The Queer Captain, George's Lair and The Red Hat as well as the best-selling memoirs Iris, Iris and the Friends and Widower's House.
