This is just one of the many stories from The Boot world, some can be read on GA, others are yet to be told. I do hope that your "allergies" will clear up, but they occur again in the future when more stories are posted, so please be aware of this. Christian is what we call a philanthropist, one who does not like to draw attention to himself. Because of his ways, he has drawn many friends and colleagues to his cause who support him. There are many real-life people, George Michael being one, who perform their own brand of magic behind the scenes. Thank you for your wonderful comments and support, I will return with more stories.

Thank you @Terry P for your encouraging comments, the epilogue will be posted soon. My earlier works will probably show an improvement over a period of time. Many, but not all, have been re-edited to improve the reader experience. Those that have not been re-edited will be receiving that attention over the coming weeks. I hope you enjoy reading them and will leave your comments. Happy New Year to you too, I hope it brings all you wish for. For those who want updates on stories or to discuss any of the topics included in the story you do that by following the link below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Psst, don't miss it, the final chapter has been posted, the epilogue will be posted soon.

Chapter 15 has been posted now live. It is the last chapter, the epilogue will be posted in about a week or less. I hope you will all enjoy and comment.

Andy and Christian sat opposite each other in the office at The New Boot with coffee mugs on the desk between them. Andy was smiling as he looked through the window that overlooked the communal lounge. He was watching the lively interactions between the guests. They were laughing and joking. The chatter between them was upbeat and mostly about the show from the night before. Andy spoke quietly. “It's amazing, isn't it?” “What is?” Christian asked. “This.” Andy gestured with his ha

Hilariously funny, I love it.

This is a chapter full of love. The love is expressed verbally and the love is expressed in actions. I know it's only the first time, but I know it won't be the last. I don't think you could have put more love into it. Now they know they have a future together and that is how it should be. Thank you for another great chapter.

Aloha Albert, wrap up warm and have a good stew for dinner tonight.

I've been waiting all my life for an offer like this, and now two come at once! I feel spoilt, lol.

And I know how you love to get down and dirty with it. 😉

Thank you Gary for the complimentary comments. Knowing that you love the characters and enjoyed the show makes me happy. @raven1 works hard editing to bring out the best in my writing. Thank you for your support my friend.

Thank you for your wonderful comments, I enjoyed reading them. With the relationship that has grown between Harry and the lads, I think we will find that they don't need to be convinced, they just need to be asked. We just have to wait to find out if Harry figures that out and asks them. He may need some convincing to speak to them. I'm sure they would happily stay with their Gramps. Charlie and Brad are taking things slowly and getting to know each other better, as you point out it is within their nature. I think it gives a better chance for a strong relationship and I'm sure you will join me in wishing them well. I'm happy that you enjoyed the Christmas show, knowing that @raven1 and I brought fun and enjoyment to others fills me with joy.

Thank you for your comments @Lee Wilson, it's the comments that keep us going. There will be more stories from The Boot World later in the year, we may even hear more from Charlie and Michael if they tell me more of their story. I love your choice of Christmas song and the singer, Michael Crawford is often overlooked as a singer but he has a very good voice as this YouTube clip shows.

depending on how it's served up it may even save on washing up.

All is being noted, who knows what may be used in future stories. 😉

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the show. It was designed, with help from @raven1, to entertain the guests and readers while showing off Michael's talents. Believe me, I had as much fun writing this as you did reading it, I hope @raven1 did too as his help as always was invaluable. I like your taste in music which has been noted for future reference. Harry needs to pull his finger out, maybe Janice can help us out there. Thank you for your wonderful and welcome comments.

You have just increased my shopping bill, I have to buy Black Forrest Gateau now. I love to drizzle a little cream over mine, no not that sort of cream, lol.

Please look after yourselves. Go and see your doctor and do whatever you need to do to get better. hugs for you and Steve.

Does Harry remind you of anyone Chris? The Major can be just as stubborn, but someone got through to him.

Happy birthday @dughlas, I wish health and happiness to you and Mum for the future, may we celebrate many more of your birthdays in the future.

I'm happy that you enjoyed the entertainment, but something tells me you are enjoying the Mini restoration more. Any good restoration has to start somewhere, checking if the engine is working is always a good start. Even if the engine was fully working it would still need working on to get it into top condition. A complete strip-down of the car components is essential for the best work to be carried out. Now the car is stripped it can be worked on in the correct order. Joe has assured me that he knows two very good and recommended suppliers for what they will need but he isn't telling me anything more at this stage. Janice tells me that she is working on getting Harry and the lads talking, but you know what Harry is like. Happy New Year to you too Doc, I wish only good things for you in 2024.

It's a very similar situation here in the UK. But what I don't understand is, why are some builders still building on flood plains?

🤔 Is it too late to include this in the chapter, lol.

It's lookin' good.

I wouldn't mind betting that Carlos would have been there helping the homeless people enjoy themselves, he may have even offered to take some of them for a ride on his Harley. I'm guessing that with where you live you too have been on the receiving end of the acerbic humour of Manchester's sharp-witted drag queens and received a tongue-lashing from them. Hmm, I wonder what Harry will do.
