Mike and Doris Peters have lived at Paradise Lodge for 20 years.

A few months before their arrival, Smythe’s wife Grace had arrived to take over the job of warden, dragging him in tow. Grace had been all right, but neither Mike nor Doris had any time for Smythe, whom they quite justly considered as an interfering busybody.

Mike is eighty four and Doris the girl next door and his childhood sweetheart is eighty one, their relationship had by now settled into that of many couples who have lived together forever, quiet tolerance of each others foibles while a razor sharp tongue noted the faults of others.

Whenever a new tenant arrived Mike would be one of the first to approach them and find out all he could about them, pumping them for information to establish their place in the pecking order. Mind you it wasn't all one way way, as many tenants could vouch, for like many lonely old people, he could bore for England.

This September will be their Golden Wedding anniversary and Doris had hinted that she was expecting something special. Well he had booked a dinner at the local pub, The White Hart. Bob Haskins the landlord had promised to make something special for them when Mike had asked him if he could cater for a small do. Just the two of them.
