Looks like, Mum was keeping an eye on you David. Love the 'who sat staring into space' yes the mind boggles there. Harry.

Back in the day Harry, I got many a clip around the ear off Mum for not paying attention in church, kids eyes tend to wander even into space, cheers David

We're only human and such desires can get out of control. In this case, it was just ogling. Yes, she was pretty and the mind tends to linger. Watch out, David. :) This made me smile and blush. :) Brandy
