BYRON COMES TO STAY

This morning Wilson and I drove over to the Zoo to collect W's half-brother Kenneth Byron Eustace Vermilingua.

When we arrived, Byron was already waiting on the pavement with his luggage, engrossed in a book about Tomato Cultivation.

Wilson jumped out of the car and the two boys embraced. Briefly, and in a very 'manly' way, obviously.

While I loaded Byron's cases into the boot of the car, Wilson glanced at the Tomato Cultivation books and remarked, 'Tomatoes are yesterday's news — I'd see if you can get a refund on these books. My new idea is WAY more exciting and fun! I can't wait to tell you all about it, but my New Dad doesn't know about it yet, so I'll explain when we get home!'

As we drove back to Uckfield, both boys sat together on the back seat — and there was a lot of whispering and giggling going on. 

Unfortunately I couldn't make out a word of what they were saying, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what they've got planned.

And hope for the best...
