Only for the moment. As George Meredith so sweetly put it, "love dies".


Even the euphoric froth of the instant, assuming it's not as unilateral is it looks, will soon be tinged with the workaday details of life's grim carnival. There are children to think of or, at least, their cost. And, as is the case in every transient fit of human happiness, lawyerly shadows will be balefully gathering to await their inevitable offerings. It's all very well to dream of skipping hand in hand from the brewerly gloom of a scented cellar to build a new life amongst nature's bounty, but past experience, if not the by-laws, suggests the attempt will swiftly sunder the stoutest of romantic bonds, whether forged by Cupid's deceitful darts or the barmaid's dispensations.


I may be wrong. Perhaps this episode represents a miraculous new beginning from which all concerned will emerge into a brighter future, replete with shining prospects on near horizons. And though history, as far as I have read it, admits no precedent, history is written by cynics.

DDM, you use the term 'partner', do I take it then you are not married to the mother of your children?


If that's the case it rules out the most obvious course of action, that of a father-in-law horse-whipping you on the steps of your club.


It's a pity of course, but there's nothing to be done about it.

Errrr, was that anything to do with you declaring your undying love for her on a local public internet forum?

Please don't tell me you asked her to sit up and beg...

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
