Downshire
is a relatively small English county but that didn’t bother its inhabitants, they may not have been the biggest, but they were in no doubt that it
was the best.
And that belief was no truer than in the southern town off Abbottsford which was Downshire’s
administrative capital and the seat of the Downshire government.
It was also a place of
learning thanks to the Downshire University, it could also boast that it was a Cathedral City, was home to Abbottsford
Town football club and benefitted from the renowned Winston Churchill Hospital.
Two of the Nurses at
the hospital were Ivan Christie and Kirsten Vaughan and they were on their
first date on the Saturday night of the third weekend in March.
They had a nice meal
at an Italian restaurant called Roberto’s and then went for drinks in the
Castle Pub.
The conversation
flowed all evening, with no embarrassed silences, and on the walk home the conversation
turned to the impending clock change.
“I hate British Summer
Time” she said
“I don’t like losing
an hour of sleep, it really messes with my head”
“Well don’t look at it
so much as losing an hour’s sleep” he said “See it more as us being able to see
each other an hour sooner than we expected tomorrow”
“Ah that’s very
romantic” she said and kissed him
