Do You Come This Way often!

I was walking up on Totteridge Common yesterday and met a man out walking through the fields and may i say it’s not normal around London to talk to anyone you meet. We just keep our heads down and march on until the embarrassment passes at this uncivilised behaviour. Anyhow I said hello and so did he and I could tell instantly that he was also Irish after a banter about the weather we got into a heavy conversation about Politics, Changing Times and Loss. The Man has suffered and out of the blue he says “if you’re talking recovery I used to be a raging Alcoholic” we hadn't been but were now. Turns out he’s been sober 33 years but stopped going to meetings years ago but he said he still missed them. Invited him down to Mill Hill Thursday Lunch Time AA, he said what if he bored us all and I assured him that position has already been filled. As this Serendipitous encounter cannot have been an accident there’s a fair change he may turn up if not at Mill Hill then somewhere!
