Yesterday we went to Hastings for a trip in Wilf's car, it was rather nice to be honest. Firstly Wilf decided to stop off en route in the picturesque 'St Leonard's upon Sea' because he forms part of the 'Save the Pier Committee' which is a bit odd in itself; apparently he became involved due to a previous incident in which he became obsessed with 2p slot machines and found redemption in pier salvation. He stated that he'd like to buy a house on the coast one day.
We had a wonderful lunch in a retro fish and chip cafe; Wilf was terribly gentlemanly, holding my chair out, standing up whenever a lady entered the cafe and generally seemed a little bit embarrassing if I'm truly honest. Luckily he wasn't wearing a hat, as I'm sure he would have doffed that at every given opportunity. We later went for a stroll along the coast, him holding my hand - it was very nice and very like old times.
The subject of Mr A did come up, Wilf said that he was sorry that he'd disappeared in such a manner and he was a great loss to the Civil Service. He also said that he bore me no ill will and hoped that we could put the past behind us. I do hope so. Wilf drove me home about 7ish, I didn't want to ask him in as Mother was hosting a 'John Barrowman Appreciation Evening' and we didn't wish to impose.
