Sunday,,
Wifes birthday, daughter and "son in-law" over for lunch, and youngest offspring going back to Uni later that pm.
My father (76) decides to go "walk about" at 3pm upto the lower slopes of the very snowy Qtox.. 3hrs later and still not home, a very annxious mother is on the phone "thinking the worst" !!
Well, the Police found him after about an hour, wandering in the dark, very very cold, and upset because he got lost.
He'd walked to an area of woods and dissused quarries about 3mls from the home, got confused and lost.. he hadn't taken his phone or tablets 'coz he wasn't gonna be out for long !
Boy, did he get a Bollicking from mum when he got home !! (just like the ones he used to give me..)
So just to say a very big "Thank You" to the Mr Plods in their Merc ML's for going out into the snowy lanes around the village to look for the "Old Bugger",
Outcome could have been so different...
all's well that ends well, eh?
it is coming to us all mate......
old age, not nice but it's coming.
glad it ended ok........................ 8)
