Nostalgia

It is tempting to wallow in nostalgia when meeting up with a friend or relation that you have not seen for many years. Tonight could, so easily, have descended into a series of reminiscences, but Gorse Fox and his cousin Pete walked a fine line between nostalgia, news, and general gossip - and hopefully did not bore his partner too badly.

A splendid evening in the subtle and restrained bright turquoise Severn Shed in Bristol Docks - opposite the Seaman's Hostel (which made the Gorse Fox chuckle, in the circumstances). The odd glass of fermented fruit may have passed the lips along with a fine selection from the menu... but the Gorse Fox was sorry when it came to an end, and he had to stroll through the late evening back to the hotel.
