My BF, bless him, as well as being of Welsh extraction & more than a little eccentric, is a little old fashioned. In fact he is the only man I know under the age of 65 who still possesses, and uses, a cotton handkerchief. Just about everyone else I know (including my dad, who's 80) uses tissues. I find it really funny, even a tad embarrassing, when he drag out his white hankie with burgundy striped edging, when we are out in public. Am I the odd one or is he just endearingly old fashioned & I should embrace his ways?
True about the yacht though!
(That had nothing to do with my 'going out' with him - I had never said before other than a cross channel ferry, and thought I would absolutely hate the whole darn thing. But, I always try to try anything once - and love (most of) it.
I make a great galley master!
