I was taking my partner to the bus station so she could go to the Black Sea with her...

Your words are perfect for describing what was there and what has happened but these stand out......

Thank you for your comment IPFN. I found it very interesting, particularly the bit about Di's neighbours' car tyres. I think I'm a little bit afraid of you now. I want my mummy! Perhaps drinking too many double espressos has sent you a bit manic...
