Absolutely loved this! The characters are all powerfully drawn... but can we get more Vera??

P.S re coffee and cake... you're obviously not coffee-ing in Morningside where a latte costs £4.25 and a scone isn't far behind.... methinks supporting you for £6.00 is cheaper, better for the heart and the waistline and way more fun!!

More Vera soon, I hope. The poor lad has to sleep somewhere. Point taken about cafe prices. Rarely go to cafes, and now I know why. Morningside, my goodness! Pleased to hear Tommy’s adventures offer more fun! Thanks.

I'm not sure "chill-out" was said back then. Of course I may be wrong. It's certainly been used in recent years.

Now venturing into extended maturity, I tend more towards Vikinghood than Hippiedom.

I am therefore no expert.

What next, I wonder ?

A two-album recording deal, Bright Lights, Fame and Fortune, Rags to Riches ?

Or anothercup of tea and one bacon sandwich ?¿?

Not sure about chill-out, either. Certainly ‘chill’ I remember. These days, many aspects the world are turning many of us into the occasional Viking. Perhaps even several times a day. We often need that energy to cope. Tommy’s visits to music land are quite closely based on my own experiences. So, bacon sandwiches were rare. When trading the streets in the city centre I went for frequent whelks from the stands! Maybe Tommy can discover them, too. Thanks for the nudge!
