6: Drakeshaugh
'Hello, aged parents, what brings you here?' Al asked.
'Dad wants to go to the Drake Stone; to remember our life.'
Al Potter caught the unspoken anguish in his mother's voice.
'I'll come too,' he said. 'I'll let Violet know.'
Al held his father's arm tightly when they arrived atop the irregular limestone block and gazed over tranquil Coquetdale.
'Top of the world!' Al recalled. 'I was five when I got stuck. You helped me down, Dad.'
'It was a pleasure, Al. Remember what I told you?'
'You were right; being a dad is the best job in the world.'
