Mrs Thompson..

At eight each morning, a small blue car pulls up outside Mrs Thompson’s house.

Sarah, her carer, lets herself in with a cheerful “Good morning!” The kettle goes on, the curtains open, and the house wakes up. They talk about the weather, about grandchildren, about the sparrow that keeps stealing crumbs from the garden table.
