Well … not for Christmas Eve anything.’ ‘Does your sister live in Millerton?’ ‘She and her husband have a farm just out of Tarnsville.’ No...lle frowned. ‘You keep going through Millerton and then follow the river almost out to Buckley Heads.’ ‘But first you have to get to Millerton,’ she said. ‘Indeed.’ ‘And that’s now not going to be today.’ We finished our salmon and put a serious dent in the contents of the wine bottle. ‘That was really nice.
