SIR – When my wife Joan died in the spring of 2006 we had been together for more than 62 years. One of our joys since moving to Barbourne was a stroll in Ghelevelt Park looking at wildlife and children playing on swings or splashing around in the paddling pool enjoying innocent fun.
However, since becoming a widower, the park has now become out of bounds for old men like me. Why?
It has become very uncomfortable to sit in the park and enjoy the ambience of the place, owing to the weird knowing looks I get from young mothers with children.
I am looked on as some weirdo sat on my own in the park. Am I bitter? You bet I am! What is happening to this country of ours?
H A KENDALL, Worcester.
