Within the book of short stories lie comedy, mystery and tales of the vagaries of life and death. The collection begins on introduction with the title story 'A Table For Two' where the eccentricities of young and old are played out over a cup of tea in Momma's Cafe.
Meeting the peculiarities of being selfish with Mr Crusty in 'Grumpy's Coffey Morning' and Derry in 'Better Late Than Never' tells with some subtle humour how the lives of others are affected by them.
The frailties of reaching old age and difficulties in making delicate decisions, tell their story in 'Losing Touch' 'An Old Age Question' and in 'Counting Down The Clock'. While three Flash Fiction stories are included in 'Stone Cold Man', 'Arnie and Grunty' and in 'Nosey Parkers' which is taken from a rural village, where nothing is missed.
In stories taken from the later part of the book, a woman is visited by the ghost of her past in 'Can I Tell You Something.' And in 'Black Cats Have Black Kittens', a woebegone misfortune returns to Gossiptown in search of answers, while a neurotic looks back over the dark ways of his life and obsession in finding love in 'Meeting Constance'.
