A fine romance


I couldn’t help smiling when I heard of the antics of two of our friends. They are at the stage of dating but not yet at the stage of moving in with one another.

Each day, she sets out on her crutches for her daily walk. She stops at his place to ring the doorbell or knock on the window to let him know she’s got that far, then continues on her walk to the prom. He comes out & follows at the regulated 3 metres, talking, or is it bellowing, at her. At the prom they both have a sit on benches suitably apart.

On the way back they stop at a pub near his home. The pub may be closed the car park with access to the outdoor tables of the pub is not. They have another sit, at separate tables, another chat, before she sets off home with him following until he gets to his own home.

It really has become a long distance romance, but it’s touching to think it still continues.
