It is Joseph Fullman’s birthday, and everyone’s invited. He has decked the backyard to resemble a pirate ship. Great lengths of fairy light rigging, an upended beer barrel bar, a snapping tarpaulin. Everyone is dressed buccaneer.

I am a member of The Stranglers’ Motorcycle Club. We ride through English villages, painting anything that takes our fancy, beige; cottage walls, cardboard boxes, garden furniture, shop fronts, etc. JJ Burnel says two coats are needed.

“If this shower can do it, then, so can I!”
The amphitheatre is packed from the stalls to the gods. But curiously, there is no obvious stage. A delegation from The House of Lords has arrived. Everyone begins to rise, and a line of dignitaries elbow their way through the crowd. I stand as they pass close by me. But, on recognising some of their faces from the papers, I sit down again. In protest, I play my small part.
