Imagination

• “ah always imagined him fishin in thae big deep pools a watter."

  Alec has a lively, imaginative mind.
• "Away tae never land."

  Alec's creative fantasies are all about escape - he yearns to move on and move out.
• "We can kid on. Use your imagination."

  Again, Alec conjures a fantastical situation to escape the reality of poverty.
• "Ah used to think it was the actual sea ye could hear."

  Alec thinks back to his fanciful, creative mind and how he's grown up.
• “the clouds opened up, a wee patch of clear blue."

  Alec finds some comfort in this moment - could the breeze, sunlight and glimpse of blue sky be a sign?
