As you know it has been a very difficult year for all of us one way or another. I am trying to end on a high so here is a story to warm even the hardest of cockles!
That man has been going a bit stir crazy recently. He had enjoyed going into “work” and (as he terms it) helping out. Now they must be desperate if they consider anything that he does as in anyway shape or form helping out but they are nice decent people so I suspect they are just being nice. Still he was in the doldrums and so we suggested that he got out and about a little bit before Christmas. He embraced this concept and off he went on the bus to Wimborne and had a stroll there. He also bought three bottles of very decent red wine which we hope to be sampling before too long. The next trip was to Dorchester on the train. He had a nice stroll around and even bought a new friend for us. Finally he got on the bus to Bournemouth and had a stroll along the front and out on the pier. There were a couple of cruise liners moored in the bay and it was a nice trip. When he got back he decided to got to his favourite sandwich shop and treat himself to a freshly prepared lunchtime treat. There was a lovely lady in the shop and she said how wonderful it was to see that man as it had been quite some time. She then said that the reason they liked that man was that he had such good manners. We laughed so much that we cried.
Hope that little anecdote cheered you up. It did a lot for our morale I can tell you!
