HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD?  

MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.

I NOTICED HIS DENTAL DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.   SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO.  

COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I WASN'T TOO SURE.  

I BEGAN TO FEAR THIS BALDING, GREY HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS FAR TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.

AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL .  

'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MORGANNER!' HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE.   'WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE?' I ASKED  

HE ANSWERED, IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK?   'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED WITH JOY.   HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.  THEN THE   UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT-A**ED, GREY-HAIRED, DECREPIT BXXXXXXXX ASKED.....   'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?'

This is a rare cotton wool cloud tree. Now past it's best but any idea where it is?

I think we know who they are, but where are they? Maybe off-shore?

The person looking a bit sheepish was of course Maddie.

The girls were in Petworth on a cold winters day. A wiser head

than mine advises me they're in  Lombard Street.
