My hero

We live at the top of a hill. Quite a high hill actually. And the tube station is a at the bottom of it, about twenty minutes walk away.

Last night I had to take the tube home because SOMEONE had broken my scooter so it's spending a few days at the garage. I didn't want to go hime in my biker gear, so changed into the linen suit I keep at the office. As the tube got closer and closer to home, the rain got heavier and heavier. Monsoon is an understatement. I had no umbrella, and taxis are few and far between in our neck of the woods.

The boy rang (our tube line is above ground) to see how I was getting on....and without hesitation offered to walk down to the station with an umbrella for me.

How cool is that? He is my superhero.

  9. Madame and Rol. You are hardened cynics. He did it out of the kindness of his heart.
    P.S. On the walk back he mentioned about a new watchhe 'needs'. I don't think the two things were linked. erm
