Our plan to head for the coast never came to fruition yesterday. The morning held promise but the day remained overcast throughout and I guess it just wouldn't have been the same. Instead we enjoyed a lie in, a leisurely breakfast and then made for the supermarket to stock up in between the bank holidays.
The afternoon drifted by pleasantly and then I made for Mum and Dad's to catch up with them and all their news. Dad welcomed me in as Mum was departing to attend today's Church service, we sat and talked for hours about everything and nothing. My father is an intelligent man and I have always had a deep respect for what he knows and the views he holds. I enjoy our chats even though they often result in a 'heated debate', for me this is part of the fun and I'm sure that he likes to spar too. Tonight however I was happy just to listen as he reminisced about old friends and talked of plans for his retirement.
"Make that trip Dad, don't miss the opportunity."
