Another Scouser, or two..

The night at Steves house was excellent, it was like visiting an old friend for some reason, the Rotherams were very hospitable and we had a great night, telling stories about APPH and drinking strong Canadian beer.

I have to include something, because it became funny many, many years later. Their two kids, Sarah and the very young Adam, were little darlings and very well behaved, Sarah was a little shy, but interested in the new man that sort of sounded like her dad. She was darting about in her nightdress and slippers and badgering her mum for a cheese single.

Gay Rotheram was talking to Karen for ages and it appeared that she was secretly being interviewed for a job at Bata where Gay was in Human Resources, this would fall into the lucky break category as I think Karen was starting to veer towards the slightly insane category as our time progressed in the motel.

The Rotherams were an example that made me believe that we had made the right decision to come to Canada, I believe they had been "over here" for about seven years when we met them, and it seemed that they were surviving very well, despite the outside temperature.
