Old Acquaintances

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

I was walking around Blackford Hill when I saw someone I vaguely know (friend of Biker Chick) and haven’t seen for a few years.

“Oh, hi how are you,” I asked.

He looked a little surprised and I realised that he didn’t recognise me. I didn’t want to embarrass him so I just chatted about his dog (a four month old puppy) and then we wandered off in different directions. I texted Biker Chick - “Just checking - does Al have a puppy?”

“No”

So I’ve probably scared a complete stranger away from ever walking his dog on the hill again. Lucky I didn’t “embarrass him” !
