Robert Carey, aged eight
Part 2 of a short story series about the young Robert Carey - and in case you don't already have it, you can get part 1 as well, A Pest of a Boy.
I\’ve done my accounts for April 2011. I\’ve dealt with the correspondance piling up. I\’ve done my self-assessment tax form for the year April 2010 to March 2011. Now I have smug rights for the rest of the year.

As a reward for being good, I took myself out to Archie Brown\’s in Truro, a veggie restaurant with food so wonderful that it makes carnivores like me want to convert. Their salads are huge, fresh, all different colours, their main dishes amazing, their puds yummy… and it\’s around a tenner if you have soup as well as salad, which I did. I\’m proud that I managed to resist the choc and banana cake… Amazing. Maybe I shouldn\’t tell anyone and just keep the place to myself?
