Out on my bike ride this morning, I stopped at the cafe at the country park, for a coffee.
Sitting outside the cafe, I couldn't help but overhear the following conversation, from the next table. An elderly couple were talking to a younger couple at another table. The elderly gent was reminiscing at length about growing up in South London, before the war, and then about his late mother, who had obviously been quite a strong character, and had managed to raise a family despite the family having very little money.
Elderly Gent: "I'm telling you, we had nothing. We were p*ss poor. But what I remember about my mum is that she never gave any of us anything but love."
Younger lady at next table: "Then really you were rich....."
It put my life into perspective......
