Just a quick note...on my way to a cheese..

Society. I thought I'd mention something...I met my girlfriend's mum yesterday. That was surreal. Mainly because she's not the kind of mum who is polite just because you're going out with their daughter. She was good, and honest, so I knew if I was making a bad impression. I found it immensely funny when she spotted me holding Abbey's hand and her mum (Elizabeth) gave me a "look". It made my day...after that it was fine. She seemed to like me...I was myself so it would have been a bit tough if she didn't like me.

We spent the afternoon in Harrogate, and I enjoyed my first ever cup of tea from Bettys. Which was nice. Elizabeth's friend Beryl was with the party so I felt a bit out of control...but after walking through past times and various other posh shops I scoffed at just to make people think I was far above them, it was coming to an end. I could tell something was going on when we all made a visit to Bettys' toilets and they didn't come back for 20 minutes. I found out there was a little social area in the "Ladies" bogs and they'd talked about me.

Wonderful.

They came up all smiles though so the report card says..."Dishy" - said Beryl.

Now to find some cheese
