I can just imagine all those eyes on him as he enters the cafe. <br /><br />I can remember many years ago, stopping at a pub in a very rural area of the UK (Being a woman, I of course needed the toilet!). As we entered the bar, which had a linoleum floor and formica tables and chairs, a group of locals, all men, turned as one, from where they were huddled together as a group, around a small black and white television set, watching the horse racing. From the rack of shotguns in the corner it was obvious they had been out on a hunting trip. It was the quickest drink we have ever had and I never got to spend my penny, as the toilet was a shack with no door in the middle of the car park!!<br /><br />I can relate totally to how Jeremy must have felt :)<br /><br />I always enjoy Nicholas Sparks books and I haven't read this one, so thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />Yvonne.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-25361547977001766362015-09-04T12:55:04.426-07:002015-09-04T12:55:04.426-07:00I haven't read any of his books in a long time...I haven't read any of his books in a long time.<br /><br />ENJOY, and thanks for sharing.<br /><br /><br />Elizabeth<br />Silver's Reviews<br /><a href="http://silversolara.blogspot.com/2015/09/book-beginnings-9415.html" rel="nofollow">My Book Beginnings</a>Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522861943931628690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-11194928100332151242015-09-04T12:16:53.216-07:002015-09-04T12:16:53.216-07:00Sounds fun, Sandy.
