Sorry to hear you were sick, I had the runs once in Majorca. Terrible it was, three days sitting on the loo with the world dropping out of your bottom. I knew we shouldn't have eaten at a local restaurant but Caroline wanted to try something different. But you can't trust foreign food, can you? They say British food is boring, but at least it stays put.

Do you remember celebrating your eighteenth birthday in the Lion? We'd been going in there for so long we had to tell them it was your twentieth! On the way home you fell over the hedge and I couldn't find you for half an hour because you crawled into the dog kennel. Then we got you home only for you to throw up on your front doorstep which we tried to clean up with the milk that had been delivered that morning - which was off  - and then I threw up. We had some laughs, didn't we!
