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”
