“I’m going to carry my umbrella,” said R, getting ready to charge off into Stratford at cardio exercise speed. “That way, I can be certain I won’t need it.” Hmmm. It sounded a bit Winnie-the-Pooh to me. Only quite a … Continued

Yesterday, on my way from the river to meet R for lunch at BTP, I nipped into White Stuff on Henley Street and bought a jumper in their January sale. Some time after we arrived home, I realised that I’d … Continued

I hadn’t been expecting to make another trip to Stratford today, but the optician has done a sterling job for R and crafted his new glasses in just four days, so late this morning we went off to collect them. … Continued
