Mornington-By-Mere was not just a quaint chocolate box English Village it was the beating heart of the Finchbottom Vale and there were a number of cottages and small houses on the Purplemere road and Dulcets Lane which formed the part of Mornington Village known as Manorside and Brian and Karen Dawkins managed to rent number 4 Brooke Side Cottages, which was a considerable improvement on their dingy Purplemere flat.
Karen and her brother Brian had their own company, Railway Enthusiast, up at Mornington Field, and they were doing very well in the business and personally.
Brian had reunited with the long lost love of his life and Karen was dating a farmer from Smithfield’s Farm, Chris Smith, and in the 9 months they had been together he spent as much time at Karen’s house as he did at the farm.
But in November they were staying at the Worsted Viper Hotel in Purplemere as it was Chris’s 32nd birthday.
On Saturday night he emerged from the bathroom just in time to see Karen, wearing a cocktail dress and walking sexily through a freshly atomized cloud of perfume.
And Chris dressed himself while Karen sat on the bed and applied the final touches to her makeup.
As he walked through reception with such a beautiful girl on his arm he was overcome with intense feelings of love so he came to a stop just before they entered the restaurant and said
“I love you Miss Dawkins”
Karen smiled and kissed him.
“I love you too” she responded “But let’s eat I’m starving”
“And they say that romance is dead” he said with affront
“Oh come on old man, feed me” she retorted
“Old man?” he exclaimed “I’m only four years older than you”
“Exactly, so come on granddad” she called as she strode off ahead of him but when he caught up with her she whispered.
“You can show me how much you love me upstairs later”
