The sudden shower of leaves, some still attached to their branchlets, took me by surprise. They fell on my head just as I boarded the bus at the stop up the hill – not a tree nearby, certainly non overhead.
Must have come off the bus roof as I lowered the step for you, said the driver. Are you ok?
Oh Yes, I was just trying to work out what it was.
Well it certainly wasn’t money, unfortunately, he said.
