So many of the regulars have already departed the Geriatrics’ Corner – many have passed away, some have moved away… Even My Good Lady and I rarely go, now, more than a couple of times a week, and then only if we know that one or two of our remaining friends will be there.
So very different from those halcyon days when the Corner was regularly full of jollity and laughter.
The latest blow fell today when Gaz, one of the managers, announces to us that he will shortly be moving himself. It seems he’s selling his share in the Pub and he’s got a job at our former local hostelry in the
His reasons for going are sound enough of course; he’s getting married shortly and he’s looking to put down a deposit on a mortgage and to start a family – not something he can do while living “over the shop” as he is.
But we shall miss him; he’s been a good mate to us over the last ten years or so.
Sad, but c’est la vie…
