Dear Chris,
Do you remember our first date? Sharing a bottle of wine in a pub beer garden in the evening sunshine, time just flew. We had loads in common, from our love of 1970s tunes to our quirky sense of humour.
It was July 2020 and we’d met online weeks earlier, but COVID-19 restrictions had prevented us meeting in person. Once rules had relaxed, we’d pre-booked a table at my local, the Royal Inn on the Park, in Hackney.
That evening of conversation and laughter was the first of many, wasn’t it? We both had demanding careers – you as a solicitor and me in marketing – but we’d meet up for leisurely walks and picnics.
Once temperatures were dropping and autumn leaves were falling, we were officially dating. A real foodie,
