Never Too Late by northie

[northie]

I've now passed the word count of the first volume (42K) and I've still another 3 chapters to go (I think  ). I'm on the home straight.

Glad to hear @Jaro_423 has found the story. He has had some great comments on other stories we've both followed.

Only three more chapters ?   Or have you written some which are not yet posted ?

The home straight in a story about a gay man ...

I'm going to work on those crossovers... CJ & Owen fly to London, rent motorcycles, and tour the countryside. They meet Eric and he ends up riding bitch...

I'm halfway through chapter 15. So I think this volume will be about 18 chapters long. Still not quite sure.

You know Adam's a lawyer?  

[Carlos Hazday]

Dueling barristers instead of dueling banjos.

 

So's Owen.

In the next chapter to be posted this Friday, Andy and Adam discuss wedding venues. Here's the link to a couple of photos of their preferred choice.

I suppose the Castle Howard (aka Brideshead) is out of their price range?  ;–)

It's also rather a hike, being in North Yorkshire.

Everyone could just drive up in their Land Rovers and Range Rovers just like in the documentary, Four Weddings and a Funeral.  ;–)

I'm sure Eric would love to be taken on a trip through half of England, but I think he'll be happy as long as there is a nice garden.

You did mean to invite him to the wedding, right ?

Eric’s garden has been refurbished and upgraded, but I don’t think he’d want to host even a small wedding in his yard!  ;–)

Unless it's his own ? I'm sure the six people he knows can fit.

Spoiler

Andy, Adam, Brian from the café + wife, the home helper (Helen?) Claire. And NOT the nosy neighbor.

Who are you marrying him off to?

And you forgot the students who did the work on his garden.  ;–)

I'll leave that up to Northie.

Did he actually talk to them ? I'll have to go back and check. But they're still not close friends.

And their preferred location is a 'Capability' Brown landscape - his gardening hero.

I'm starting to wonder who's writing this story?

Not really, apart from the job. He does have thoughts about one of them, but nothing he'd ever act on.

PBS has shown All Gardens Great and Small with all the weird gardens scattered around England. They’ve also shown how excited people get over baked goods on the Great British Bake Off with Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood. Add to that the fact you guys participate in Eurovision! (Will you be leaving that too with Brexit?)  ;–)

Problems ahead .... My laptop has died. Although everything's saved to cloud storage, I've never tried accessing it through my tablet, never mind working with it. There may well be a delay in the next Eric chapter which is due on Friday. More news as I know it. 

 

[northie]

I hope the next chapter will appear on Friday of next week. It's good to go so I only need to find and post it. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? Hmm ...
