There are boats there too, Mum.

Boats?

Yes, in the harbour.

You've never even seen a boat, so how do you know that's what they are?

You've never even seen the sea, if it comes to that.

I have.

When?

In my dream!

It's blue and it must be.

Seen it properly, I mean.

Awake.

I don't suppose the meal seems like that at all.

It's bigger than... Well, it's...

It's not like anything I've ever seen.

You can't dream about something you've never seen.

You're making it up.

The buildings aren't a bit like ours either.

And the traffic in the streets is strange.

What do you mean?

There are carts running with no horses in the bull room.

And sometimes...

There are things in the sky.

Birds?

No.

Shiny fish-shaped things.

And when I dream, it's nighttime there.

There are lights, like glow worms, but very bright.

All along the shore and drinking in the air.

I don't think I want to hear any more.

Oh, but it's beautiful, Mel.

Mel, Mel, Mel.
