Time to smile

Regular readers of this column will know I love a smile and can often see humour in the most simple everyday situations.

Well it has happened again: We had taken a week off and went to stay in the wonderful Bulkeley Hotel standing on the Menai Straits. We went into their very smart restaurant to treat ourselves to the first evening meal but I had to excuse myself needing the loo before our meal. Off I trotted and was duly washing my hands when I accidentally put my hand in front of the strong jet of water coming from the hot tap.

I was wearing very light cavalry twills and to my horror got them soaked all down the front. I looked like a very serious case of incontinence. My predicament was how to get through the hotel reception area and up to our room on the third floor to change without a. being seen and b. causing my wife waiting at our table. I could not walk through to our table to explain.

I don't think I have ever changed my trousers so quickly! And had to make embarrassing explanations to my dear wife. As the song said, “Always look on the bright side of life”.

Our members still meet up during the summer months at various venues just to keep in touch and we recommence our regular 2025/2026 Autumn and Winter programme at the Dyserth Community Hall 7th October with yet another interesting programme of speakers.

Do get in touch if you would like to join us.
