Jubal purchased two bags of oats from the cool, dimly-lit feed mill, loading them up before heading on to the mercantile for a badly-needed set of new clothes. When he entered, it be right full of folks, and damn awkward for a fellow to get around in, so he kept his head down as he hurried to find what he came for. If he hadn’t such a need for them clothes, he’d have left without stepping inside.

Yes!! Well deserved attention for Mancunian. 'What Happened to The Baxter Boys" is a good one for the heart and I am enjoying it immensely. Thanks, @spike382.
Another great chapter that got me in the feels. Loved the tour around Manchester, but loved Sackville Gardens and Alan Turing the most. It was a nice addition to the story, one of those moments that stays with a reader.
I must admit I got a little worried abut Harry after he said he didn't want them to come back and visit that night, but my worries left when he said he wanted the soup the next day. There are a lot of elderly people who 'give up', and he has been through so much.
Felt sorry for Brad too... it was meant to be a harmless prank, but we all know how those can go. Keep up the good work, buddy. Cheers!
