Out to dinner

I have just got in after being spoilt by an old acquaintance of mine (Ian Watson) when I worked in Lloyds Bank in Thame. It is now 1030pm!
I forgot that he had been transferred to Brackley in 1972 and only met him again following a chance remark to my solicitor when I changed my Will the other day. Anyway, I had a telephone call from Ian the same day and he invited me over to dinner in Hinton in the Hedges. I naturally thought it would be at his house BUT we met his wife, Shirley in The Crewe Arms in Hinton, and sat down to a wonderful filet steak dinner in the lovely pub that Steve and I went to last Sunday, following our long trip down to Devon. I also had a couple of Hooky (Beer from Hook Norton, near Chipping Norton) beers and later went back to their lovely house for a coffee and a long chat about people and places that we used to know 28 years ago. What a small world! So that is where I went this evening.
Their house is SO perfect that I understand why I was treated to a pub dinner. I don't think Shirley wants to let her PERFECT house be spoilt, by food and food smells. They were both so kind and helped me into their car and things like that, so I must not be bitchy. Ian collected me from K/S and drove me home again.
