Return to familiar streets

The author walked down a steep street while a strong gale blew against their face. They looked up at a back garden running up the hillside opposite their path.

Flashback to 1983 party

A vivid memory surfaced of sitting on a granite rock face watching people in the garden below. The recollection included sun on the face and a woman calling out from the group.

The writer stood outside a house they could not identify despite having lived there previously. They continued down to the coast where large waves crashed against the sea wall.
