October
The Old Grange stands to the north of Pepperstock
Green and had survived from the 17th century and it was the home of William and Mary Farnham.
The next
generation of the family lived in Abbottsford but the Farnham and the Laslett
families, holidayed every summer at the Grange as well as all the significant
holidays during the year.
Bernie and
Pamela Farnham and their sons Stuart and Cary, Pamela’s sister Cora Laslett and
husband Alfie and their daughters Katrina and Elise, all stayed with William
and Mary, and the house was perfectly placed for access to the Pepperstock
Hills National Park.
Cary
Farnham was a twenty-nine-year-old solicitor who now lived in the old family
home in Pepperstock Green following the death of his grandparents, and he had
it pretty much to himself as his parents were now retired and spent most of
their time travelling and his brother Stuart was working for a magazine in New
York.
On one
family holiday ten years earlier, Cary, who was a few weeks short of his
nineteenth birthday, at the time, was seduced by his cousin Katrina who was
just sixteen, for the first of many enjoyable occasions.
Cary and
Katrina were what is known as “friends with benefits” which was a mutually
satisfactory arrangement.
One Wednesday he was working from home, and he got up early and
emailed the documents he had been working on the night before and then had a
leisurely breakfast.
It was just before 10 o’clock when Katrina walked through the front
door and called.
“Hi cuz,”
“Hi Katrina” he responded, “I’m in the kitchen”.
When she walked into the kitchen, she was dressed in a dark blue
uniform that he hadn’t seen before.
“What’s this then, new uniform?” he asked.
“New job” she replied proudly and gave him a twirl “Ward sister at the
Pepperstock and District”.
“Well done” he said and hugged her,
Her uniform was all crisp and new and still had that fresh laundered
smell.
“Do you have time for an inappropriate celebration?” he asked
hopefully.
“Why do you think I’m here?” she replied and then kissed him.
“Where would you like it, Sister?” he asked between kisses.
“Here will suffice I don’t want to be late for my new job” she
replied.
“Just don’t get anything nasty on my new uniform”.
