THE HISTORY MAN

Today I went to Lincoln to visit my grandson, who's studying History there. I took him out to lunch and tea; I gave him one of beloved C's old Pink Floyd LPs which he was delighted with; we explored various old bits including the Cathedral and looked at the Magna Carta and I told him he should try to learn Latin if he got the chance; I exclaimed about how different Lincoln was 50 years ago when I lived there and then I slipped him a few quid to help him out. I think all that must mean that I'm a proper grown-up at last, even though I only came up to his chin when I hugged him!
