  1. You have to be gentle with me, no rough stuff. I'm off out now, my usual Friday appointment is a little later than usual due to the holidays. I'll catch up with you all later.

    I love the musical references, Shy Boy would be a perfect fit for Brad and Charlie.

    Thank you @chris191070, I wanted Charlie and Michael to celebrate their birthdays and I'm happy I could do that for them. I don't know about you, but I was there in spirit.

    Thank you @Anton_Cloche for your wonderful comments, they are a pleasure to read. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the party, I felt that their birthdays should be remembered, especially as it is Charlie's twenty-first, it's a special birthday. Thanks to their new friends and new extended family their lives are 'back on track' and full of opportunities. Thank you for your good wishes, I wish you only the best of luck for 2024.

    Chapter 13

    Project 'Restoration Mini Cooper S' will bring a lot of joy to Joe, Charlie and most of all Harry. I think Harry will be inclined to keep it when it is completed, he may look at the possibility of having a garage built to keep it in to protect it from the weather. There was no way Missy could be left out, with her intelligence and temperament she was only going to be hit at the party. As a result of his heart attack, Harry has gained more than a new lease of life, he has gained friends who are more like family. I did consider the Altered Images song but felt Stevie Wonder's song is a better fit, and it got Missy dancing too! Thank you for your comments, I love reading them.
  6. I never did sports or Physical Education in school, I was never allowed. Rugby was my dad's sport in his youth but I don't have any photos of it. Some still don't look human after the second or third cup

    I hope you find the bargains you are looking for. Remember some of the best can be found on markets and in second-hand stores, especially if you are buying jewellery.
  8. Thank you @Gary L your comments and support are really appreciated.

    Thank you @Gary L for your welcome and encouraging comment.
  11. Psst, it's that time again. Another chapter has been posted.
  12. Just to let you know, Chapter 13 has now been posted. I hope you have all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year celebrations. May you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
  13. It was a busy week for Stacy, with a family to look after. He also spent a lot of time contacting staff and volunteers from The New Boot, enlisting help and support for a new show. As if that was not enough, he was organising a surprise birthday party for Charlie and Michael. Compiling the list of proposed guests was the easy part. Planning the food frustrated Stacy until he spoke to Kate, who offered to help. Kate was a lifesaver, and Stacy was very relieved by the offer from his friend.
  14. Aloha Albert, are you and Steve prepping for the new year yet?

    Chapter 12

    I hope the familiarity with the places brings back some good and happy memories for you. The expansion of Ian Kevin's business is loosely based on a small local chain of pawnbrokers that my father and I had connections with, unfortunately, they no longer exist. One of their shops was in Sale town centre and another in Chorlton, it was a time that has many good memories for me.

    I like that description of Max's reaction. After all, he was provoked by the steward's behaviour toward Liam. Thanks for the comment, I hope to see more of them in future chapters. 😀

    Chapter 9

    Thank you @Gary L, the author did have help from an excellent editor, so it was a joint effort. I hope you had the tissues ready. I'd suggest keeping them in reach, just in case, lol. Thank you for the comment, they are always welcome.

    Chapter 4

    Thank you for joining us in reading about The Baxter Boys journey. As you point out there are a lot of good points and weaknesses in the NHS, it felt right to include both in the story. I hope you enjoy your visit to Birmingham, I haven't been there for a few years and high time I paid a visit. Thank you for commenting, I hope you stick with us for the rest of the journey.
  19. What! You mean he was drugged 😟
  20. Hi Terry, it's busy but good. How's it going for you
  21. Aloha Albert, I hope it's a good day for you.
  22. Quarantine is one of those necessary evils, for want of a better expression, but I'm sure it would be just as effective if shortened. Benjamin and Joseph's relationship is close, they are 'brothers' brought together by circumstance. I hope you will join me in wishing them well on their new adventures and a life in the UK.
  23. Whatever decisions are made about Ariel she will be looked after. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions in life, we can only do what we feel is right at the time.
  24. To quote what I was told when I asked those same questions, "If I told you I may have to kill you to prevent it from getting out", for that reason
  25. Benjamin's circumstances will become apparent, I can't say more.
