Most things happen for a reason, so if my car had not decided to seize up on me I would still be in ignorance.
I had left home intending to travel to London but my car packed up less than 10 miles from our house. I phoned my local garage and arranged a tow back to there workshop, when the mechanic told me it would take 2 days to repair I decided to head off home and do some paperwork for the rest of the day.
It was a nice day so I decided to walk home, it only being a short distance back to my house. I usually travel everywhere by car but was enjoying the walk and as I glanced at my watch it dawned on me that my wife Di usually walked the dog around this time. Thinking I would surprise her I cut into the woods and made my way along the path. It was so peaceful as I walked, the birds singing in the trees the only sound.
I caught sight of Di and was just about to shout to her when I saw her waving at somebody to her left. Curiosity overcame me so I waited to see who it was, crouching down I could see her embracing a guy but I could not see his face. They linked arms and began strolling down the trail unaware of me or anyone else for that matter.
My head spun as I tried to make sense of the situation, who was the guy she was with.? How long had this been going on behind my back.?
