Charity Case

I dutifully put out my Great North Air Ambulance service charity bag for collection this morning, but it was still on the doorstep after lunch so, it being Wednesday when my wife is home, I suggested we take the bag to their depot/shop in the Newton Aycliffe industrial estate and call in for a coffee at the similarly located Jackson’s Café - I know how to treat a girl on her day off; she was game so we found the depot and while browsing (it’s no use just taking things to charity shops, you need to buy from them as well) we spotted a large suitcase similar to the one my daughter set off to Mongolia with but arrived there without (and is still waiting for), so we snapped it up foe just £2, “just in case” she needs a new one.
