duvet cover

The duvet in Peckham obtains a cover after three nights of waiting. The cover has a white background, with a green seventies shamrock/heart motif repeated over and over and a green border where the motif is picked out in white.

The duvet cover has little pop-buttons which clip shut, though many have gone. On the side is stitched a name tag, Claire Fletcher, which suggests my sister must have taken it to University or boarding school with her, though I'm not certain she ever went to boarding school. There is also a laundry tag on it.

This duvet cover has belonged to one member or another in the family for perhaps twenty years or more. At some point I must have taken possession and it found its way to Vauxhall, from whence it has tonight cycled to parts of South East London it perhaps never expected to visit.
