If there is outdoor seating you may see me there.
I think I seriously slipped up when I named a topic for the current photo comp.
I should have said 'Public Seating in Hyndburn' so that I could have more choice and know what they look like before I go.

As soon as I mentioned your name he said that you were his first sweetheart aged seven.

He's still car mad, and I heard all about your mum and dad's car, one of the first in Ossy.

His mum is keeping very well, and is still as bright as a button.:)

It was funny, you having mentioned it here. I said we know someone in common, meaning you, and the first words out of his mouth were that you were his first sweetheart, aged seven.

I heard all about your mum and dad's cars wheel's, which had obvoiusly impressed him, and that there was only room in the back seats for you and him. I think he meant as passengers, I hope you weren't up to any mischief at that age.:D
