It was the mid sixties and I stood nervously in a London ‘High Court’.

Mo and I went for a walk today.  It was such a lovely, sunny and warm day.  We started out at our favourite reservoir, then decided to drive to another lovely spot and have a cup of tea, while watching the ducks that trotted around waiting for scraps of food.  We noticed a lonely little [...]
