Went out about fifteen minutes ago to get some milk and there sitting outside one of the local pubs in the sunshine was a friend and his son from his first marriage, pints in hand! His son has recently moved in with Dad and second wife, Carolyn following a relationship breakdown. 'They're not open are they?' I called in astonishment. 'No,' came the reply, 'We brought our own beer and glasses. Carolyn's brainwave, she said we all needed some normality so she sent us down here to do father/son bonding while she has some time to herself!'
Clever woman, Carolyn! I've always liked her! (and another retired nurse

)
