Discovered in a Christmas stocking - 2 January (part two)

Me again,

I thought I'd offer up this little ficlet as well, which was born out of a visit to Bodmin Jail on Boxing Day. It's not much, but I hope you like it:

Oh nice - older lads and very evocative, especially after seeing the photos posted recently. Could almost feel the chilly dankness.

Thank you, glad you liked it! I did enjoy writing about older lads, especially bringing them down to my neck of the woods again. :D

I enjoyed this, especially the idea of them still together after all those years. It's certainly easy to see. :-)

Thank you. :D It is lovely to think of them getting old and grumpy together, isn't it?

And I like older lads stories! *g* I love it that they've survived and are together. This is a nice little scene, with the place leading them into conversation and the realization of what is important. I do like the last line. *g* Thank you for this one as well!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. I've never played with older lads before, I did enjoy bringing them up to date and putting them in my time and place. :D

I adore Bodie-with-glasses-and-a-camera, and Doyle-in-gloves, and gorgeous older-lads eternally together, and... yeay for fic that's from somewhere I've been - I'm so glad you wrote this! *g*

Tee hee, thank you. You do realise that whenever I go anywhere unusual or interesting now, I'm always thinking "what would the lads do here?..."

“Come on then, old man...

Awww - you've made me go all mushy now, drat you! *g* I love them still together and being bad (in a good way) 30 years on, and Bodie still being a boy with his toys, and Doyle still griping, and loving him anyway. Bliss, thank you!

Mush is good. Embrace the mush. :D I'm really glad you liked it. And about Doyle griping, I think he makes an adorable grumpy old man, doesn't he?

Oh he does! *hg*
