Happy is a Grumpy Road

Bol

Ralph has been widowed for five years and feels it is at last time to emerge from his long period of lonely grieving for his beloved Alice. With encouragement from members of his family, he explores the world of online dating for the over sixties - and what a variety of ladies he encounters. Each one brings her own little foible that ensures his quest becomes a frustrating and lengthy process. His lack of success convinces him that to restore his former contentment is a hopeless task but his daughter-in-law will not allow him to surrender.He is convinced that no one in their right mind wants to spend the rest of their days with a grumpy old man unless they have a desperate flaw, but Ralph isn't seen by others as grumpy. He just likes a good old moan like most people in their sixties and some of his consorts even sympathise with his complaints about the modern world, especially as his complaints are usually delivered with humour.Just as he thinks he has found the lady for him, her old flame raises his head and scuppers Ralph's hopes, but that is not the end of the story.
