Hard To Swallow
We take the caddy everywhere; it is a modern Grand Tour.
During our European escapades my brother was the fourth cavalier, so we are retracing our trip of a lifetime: Oslo, Paris and Tuscany; Ljubljana and Granada.
Back in England, my wife welcomes us before we leave for the final destination: Bibury, the most beautiful village in England.
She makes steaming mugs of tea and we toast my friend, my brother, tears welling in our eyes. Then it is time to move, and I pick up the caddy.
It’s empty. He’s gone.
My wife is ashen-faced.
And we turn green.
