Will's passenger - Granddad

Yes, Amen to that - never any worries.
Thanks Will for the ride, Who would have thought in your LW days that you would be driving your OWN car down Thame High Street. Well done says Granddad.

If you want a passenger Steve Count me in. I quite fancy a ride to the seaside in a Landy!!

Now there's a funny thing. I was in my Solicitor's office (Richard Horth who is also a Catenian) yesterday (following Mum's Death I was re-drafting my Will) and we got talking, as you do, and the name of my old boss Ian Watson, came up.
Many years ago on a Burns Night, Mum and I were invited to Ian's house in Tiddington for a wee dram and a haggis supper. Mum had just come out of hospital in Oxford after her heart attack, which was subsequently traced to her thyroid problems and she was talking twenty to the dozen, which was not like her. We enjoyed their company and had a good evening.
Anyway back to my visit to Richard, my Solicitor and it turns out the Ian and his wife Shirley are great friends of Richard Horth and his wife Ann, and live in Hinton in the Hedges, not more than three miles from here and a few hundred yards behind Steve's bungalow in Charlton.
When I got back home the phone was ringing and it WAS !an, after all these years, inviting me to visit him and Shirley for lunch one day. Talk about coincidences that was ONE Granddad
