Possibly I’m just a little too obsessed with North and South but there have been some coincidences in my life recently that just make me smile…
1. I live on Gaskell Street
2. my unit is being painted by a contracting company named ‘Higgins’
3. I walk past GrantThorntonhouse every Monday night on my way to volunteer at the bloodbank
4. I get off the train at the Milton station for work eveyday
This is all true…
So does this mean that I’ll meet a tall, dark, handsome stranger soon and start arguing with him before falling passionately in love? (please can this be true!)
