Nigel Back In The Homeland.

Nigel is spending a couple of days with Lu, not for any particular reason, however due to the ongoing “en-suite saga saga” at The Towers  having one less person to keep from under the feet of all the gentlemen who are helping us, I have to admit is a relief.

And it seems from all his WhatsApping Nigel is having quite an education back in the Homeland, while waiting behind St Peter’s church for Lu to pick him up he learned that St Peter’s gardens were the oldest place in the city, Anglo Saxon times, he informed Darrell and I, was really, really old ……..

…… which, made him, he said,  drink in Wolverhampton’s rarefied air and scenery with a renewed eye, mind …… and lungs!

Nigel also had an encounter that he’d never ever had before ……. also behind St Peter’s. A gentlemen of questionable repute and hurried, dodgy demeanor approached Nigel asking if he wanted to buy “some Body Shop stuff”, holding out two large pots of something in his hands.  Nigel  though tempted, thinking Darrell might appreciate such a “gift”,  quickly thought better of it, realising that such items were probably acquired due to some nefarious activity and he’d be better keep his nose clean.  He’d heard something about being “a mule” somewhere and didn’t want to bring shame upon The Towers, so he politely declined said gentleman’s offer and walked away, whistling, as nonchalantly as he could.

However, it gave him an interesting  talking point in the car with Lu  as they drove back to her “gaff” 

Let’s just say, Lu is being a very lovely and attentive hostess and Nigel’s reticence in going over to the “dark side” is being  amply rewarded.
