More Murder at the seaside

Carrying on from Lorna being worried about being called as a witness i the Aberdeen murder case - Lorna and her husband had invited another couple for dinner. During the meal, Linda's husband George mentioned they had been invited to a party at a farm if they wanted to go. Since only Linda and George knew the way to the farm, and, in those days the men drove the ladies, they split up with Linda and her male guest in one car, George driving his lady guest in the other. Lorna got there first and was ushered into the house by the farmer. 'Can I take your things,' the farmer asked. Linda said no not yet, she was still a bit cold and followed into the big farm lounge. As she looked round, she realised everyone was naked. This may have been the swinging sixties for a few but most of  us still remembered our mother's warnings about free sex and unwanted pregnancies and those dreadful diseases and Lorna found herself talking twenty to the dozen and trying not to look at the drooping busts, stretch marks and sagging tummies on display. When George arrived, she pushed him out of the door and into the car. What worried her when she heard about the farmer being  murdered and the trial was that she might be called as a witness of some kind and it would all come out about her being at the nude party. They didn't need her but she lost a few pounds worrying about it.  I'm telling this to show how SD and I met interesting people and led to Welcome to Oakhaven being written.
