Today, Sunday we got a tad sick of “playing” indoor games and simply gazing out of the front door watching the rainsqualls and wind blasts, so we went off to “town” to restock the larder.It was then that we decided to visit several friends that up till about 6 months ago were our neighbours.Bruce and Vivian are well into their seventies now, and retired to a comfortable government housing...
