My Mum says the people who live down the road are very bohemian. I asked her what that means, and she said they don’t live like the rest of us, and have peculiar ideas of what is proper. They haven’t concreted over their garden to make a car-park. In fact, they haven’t even got a car. Their garden is full of scruffy plants, and they keep chickens in a cage at the bottom of it. They go on about stuff called “organic food”, and grow a lot of weedy-looking vegetables. My Mum says, why can’t they go to the supermarket like normal people? They don’t do emails or texting or Facebook or Twitter, but they’re always sending hand-written letters. They never watch telly, except old black-and-white films with writing at the bottom of the picture. She says they don’t even fiddle their social security claims like everyone else does.
