On a whim (and as a wizard wheeze) I suggested that Ang and Lucas might like to come to Taunton today and have lunch with me as a long lunch is easier for me to force than leaving early is…and at the moment I’m probably seeing Lucas in the evenings once or twice a week max.
Anyway today was the day and so at noon I strolled out past security and into the loving err car of Ang (who looked quite fab) and Lucas (who looked quite surprised to see me).
We went to the pub with the butcher’s counter and I bottled having a “choose your cut” steak as they looked mucho expensive and my wallet is still trying to recover from London. But the steak that I did have was very good indeed.
After lunch we went to a little park near work in the glorious sunshine and picked conkers…just the most idyllic way to spend a lunch hour. Can’t begin to say how much it meant to me. I was beaming for the rest of the afternoon even through tough meetings and the fact that I didn’t get out till 7pm again.
