FROM HEAVEN TO HELL

 

FROM HEAVEN TO HELL

Anita thought she’d landed in Heaven when Gareth proposed.

Twelve years and two children later, with a nice home, a lovely group of friends, and a fulfilling job that paid for an au pair, she was still happy.

Until she saw Gareth’s hand on Caroline’s bum at a barbecue. The familiarity of that touch screamed ‘affair!’ like a foghorn.

Thinking back, the clues had been there – phone calls taken outside, late office hours.

Confronted, Gareth denied everything, but his eyes were guilty.

“Hell will freeze over before I believe your lies again,” Anita yelled, and filed for divorce.

Looking at Na'ama Yehuda's photograph, my first thought was, 'I wish I was there.' It is too hot today in England - we are looking forward to the cooler weather that's on its way. Though we shouldn't grumble - Germany and China are suffering far worse than we are from the effects of climate change.

It isn't the weather to be sitting at a computer either, but my writing head has been buzzing and it's impossible to ignore. Except, that is, when engaging in minor spats on Facebook - my own fault for making contentious observations!
