LOCKED

Have you ever been locked out of your own house? 

Well, I was yesterday, on my return from being away for a week. The friend with me tried to open it, with no luck. I tried and failed. 

I thanked him and asked him to leave, as he had another appointment. He reluctantly left. 

Lily the next-door cat who wishes to be mine, came to keep me company, giving me a very warm noisy welcome. 

We chatted as you do with animal friends. She could not understand why I did not go in. 

Together we settled till some neighbour's arrived home, they took pity on me and invited me in for a warming cup of coffee. 

Lily slopped off, once she saw I was safe. She is my much loved furry friend and neighbour.

After a while, my husband returned and cleverly fixed the door. 

Together we entered our lovely warm hall, hugged and kissed one another, everything was back to normal.
