WEDDING’S OFF

Halfway to the zoo I received an SMS from Wilson, asking me to collect him as the wedding had been cancelled.

When I arrived, I found him sitting disconsolately outside the entrance staring at a Polaroid photograph.


He was accompanied by Byron, who was pacing awkwardly up and down looking exactly like someone who couldn’t think of the right thing to say.


I put an arm round W’s shoulder and said, ’Come on, mate, let’s get you home.’


Byron punched him gently on the arm and W gave him a halfhearted smile in return.


He climbed into the car with a sigh and slumped in the front seat, and as Byron waved us off we started our journey back to Uckfield…

AN EXTRAORDINARY POSTCARD

The postman has just delivered the most extraordinary postcard – from Wilson!

As soon as I’ve calmed down I shall drive out to the zoo to see what on earth is going on.


I can tell you now, I’m not happy – Wilson is still only a baby! MY baby!


Since he was summoned to the zoo by his Mum, Mrs V, I’m wondering if this is an Arranged Marriage – do they have those in Costa Rica?
