I was going through divorce. Are they ever " amicable" ? Joined the PTA at my son's school Slindon College  near Arundel ...to take my mind off things..give myself a purpose. We organised a summer ball. Big posh do it was. Loads of Arundel folk came along. Some misbehaved...nothing too serious Bread roll fights across the school dining room over dinner. Who? My lips are sealed..... The master on duty was the dishy sports teacher. The  mothers on the PTA committee talked him into hiring a dress suit and coming along. Bit of eye candy. A couple of weeks later a friend who had attended the ball came round to my house for a drink " Why don't you phone him? Ask him out on a date?" " Nooooo.....I can't" " Have another glass of wine and do it." Well..and yes..I did ..but it took two more before I picked up the phone. We started dating. My 13 year old son was mortified. ...
