Wrong Turn

Dark roads, bad directions and sudden shocks – this reunion was getting worse by the second!

- Lisa Connelly

Turn around when possible. ‘Stop telling me to turn around! If you didn’t want me to come down this road you should have been clearer.’ OK, maybe I could brush up on just how far a yard is, but really, there wasn’t an abundance of turnings to choose from!

I’d pull the satnav woman’s plug if I dared prise my hands from the wheel, but just locating the full beam had almost put me in the hedgerow. It’s not a function I’ve had much call for before. Good overhead lighting and a clear urban road is by far the better option in my opinion.

Oh, I am really not liking this, I’m sure it’s getting darker. Where did the moon go? And just how many curves does a road need? Not that I’m confident this can actually be described as a road. In fact, even referring to it as a lane might be pushing the imagination now. And as for turning around.

Why they couldn’t have picked a more central venue is beyond me. Each year these reunions are getting more extravagant – in location and theme – with the nominated organiser attempting to out-do the previous one.
