I think we need to acknowledge the selfless part that Miriam played, taking Helen out with her to:
locate all the nearest cosmetic shops, walk the collie
go to the chippy
I know it was a bad thing we did. I shouldn't have taken advantage of him really. He was reluctant at first, but just couldn't help himself in the end.
I only hope that he doesn't blame himself too much. He's only human.
Helen has him for the rest of her life, but I can close my eyes, and I will always have Hadley Wood.........................sweet dreams ROB
