    @Summerabbacat thank you very much. These guys have each others back, no doubt about that, but I do sense a few testing times ahead!

    -- Chapter 3 -- Matt’s phone, sitting on the picnic table in front of him, pinged once more. He had lost count of how many times he had heard it in the last hour, since he had come outside to sit in the hospital rose garden, alone in the darkness, to just breathe. And to think. He knew that it would be either Luke or his parents, but would check it shortly, now that his heartbeat had calmed and his breathing was close to being back to normal. For a while there he didn’t know what was h

    @Summerabbacat you're welcome! I really had to do it for myself as much as everyone else ... I just didn't want to f*ck it up somewhere! lol

    @pvtguy it took me a bit of fiddling to get everything lining up, but here is the sequence, as far as the years these stories are set: My original story in this series, After We Danced, was written and set in 2000/2001. The most recent in the series, A Good Place, was set around 2010/2011 (basically 10 years after the lads moved to Thompsonville). Out of the Blue is set around 2016/2017, and a couple of years prior to when I set Traditions. At the time of OOTB, Matt has been working for the guy who owns the auto store and service station since the early 2000's. By the time we get to Traditions, then he will be running both businesses.

    @Summerabbacat I cannot disagree with any part of that statement!

    Thank you @Summerabbacat. Plenty more to come, so make sure your hayfever meds are on hand for the next few chapters

    Chapter 1

    Most enjoyable! Thank you! We have a politician here named Barnaby, and he looks a bit like a Capybara . . . though nowhere near as cute, or as smart, as your Barnaby 😁

    @Ivor Slipper thank you. I thought so too. I've been saving that one for a while! lol

    @Lynx003 oh, believe me, there is quite a bit that is yet to be revealed! Matt had no idea he had a son. Levi had no idea who his dad was. But there are still a few spanners to be thrown in the works.

    @centexhairysub oh yes, so many ways in which things can go wrong. Here's hoping that the road ahead won't be too rough!

    @weinerdog let's just say that all will be revealed . . . eventually . . . as father and son get to know each other. There is a lot of ground to cover! 🙂

    -- Chapter 2 -- Coming from his parents, the name hit hard. What was happening here? Jesus, it had been years since he’d even thought of her, let alone spoken her name. He saw an image of her in his mind. A beautiful girl who had once meant everything to him. He saw a girl he’d held hands with at a bus stop, a girl he’d said things to that he had thought he had meant at the time; and should have said other things to as well. She was his first, for many things, but then things had change

    Life is filled with surprises. We are constantly reminded that we are at the mercy of the universe; from the people we meet, to the events that shape us, to the places we find ourselves in. If we are among the lucky ones we will find our place in the world, and someone to share it with, and life will be sweet. But even then, everything is subject to change, and we either roll with the flow, or find ourselves fighting against the tide, because you just never know what might come at you from out of the blue.

    -- Chapter 1 -- Life is filled with surprises. From our first breath, to our last, as each of us travel this long and winding road.

    @Summerabbacat ummm .... no .... sorry, not a Monolith in sight for Out of the Blue .... but thanks for the tip! I might save it for later!

    @Summerabbacat yeah... more, more, more! 😋 Well, not right now, but you'll figure it out as we go along! 😉

    -- Chapter Twenty-one -- One quiet afternoon in November, Toby came over after school. He was growing up so fast, and was really filling out his blue school shirt and grey shorts these days; I could only hope that he was being careful, because in this town, good-looking teens could easily attract unwarranted attention – especially those who might not be as wise about the world around them as others. It was just the two of us on the back verandah, watching some vibrantly-coloured

    @Ivor Slipper no, not this lad, but he will be a main character in the next one. Traditions is set in 2019 / 2020. The next story is called Out of the Blue (actually set in 2017) and is the follow on from A Good Place (actually set in 2011). It took a bit of jigging about to get everything to line up! lol You might be thinking of Aaron's kid brother, Zack, in A Good Place

    @Summerabbacat poor Ernie!

    @Lynx003 thank you. And you'll be finding out some more about the boy on the bike soon enough! Patience my friend!

    @Summerabbacat it's the Oxley Highway that runs between Walcha and Wauchope. And it's Thunderbolts Way that runs Walcha - Gloucester - Newcastle.

    "While this one appears to be winding down; I am sure there will be another coming around the bend." @centexhairysub oh, absolutely! And it will answer some of the questions already raised here.

    Fantasy Glades was at Port Macquarie I think. It even had a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves cottage, if I remember correctly. Yeah, Timbertown was at Wauchope. I was there on the weekend actually ... it was all sold off last year some time.
