It’s a bit chilly don’t you think?
We’re getting old Flo, and feel the cold more.
I’ve always liked it here though, nice view.
It is indeed sweetheart, especially on a warm summer’s evening. It’s why we stay.
Those days are long gone though Frank, aren’t they, you know, thanks to the floods?
‘Fraid so. Times are changing, and not for the better.
Do you think anyone misses us?
Maybe.
How long’s it been Frank?
About four years I think.
Oh well, at least no-one’s thrown our chairs away.
Yeah, there is that. Even ghosts have to rest.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
It’s a bit chilly don’t you think?

Such a sweet story. Maybe the poor ghosts can let go of their madness and explore new worlds?
Wonder what they’d make of it all? Thanks for commenting.
