    Good afternoon everyone. X
    I am 11/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X

    Sometimes I think that not drinking alcohol is accepted and 'normal', other times not so much 😕. We have a new family in our road and they invited us into their garden for a drink. Very neighbourly of them, except they had beers, lagers, ciders and wine of all sorts but nothing alcohol free at all not even a tin of Diet Coke or a lemonade! I gratefully accepted one of their four year old's Fruit Shoots. Said four year old didn't look very happy so we didn't stay for a second drink 😂.
