Four blondes, and not one of them the same shade
Four women on this desk wear their hair blonde, which makes this the shortest hair list here and the quickest to read. No two share a colour: honey, golden, caramel, and a wavy blonde that the summer lifts a shade further every year.
The likeness ends at the hair. They are spread across three different corners of the county, they keep different hours, and they want quite different evenings. Read the four against the night you have in mind rather than against a photograph.
Blondes, on the board
The four, and where each one starts from
Nora is the airport one. Honey blonde with hazel eyes, athletic at 166 cm, she is awake at hours that defeat most people and watches aircraft land for the pleasure of it. She works the Bath Road out of Heathrow and takes early and late alike.
Thea is caramel blonde with green eyes and curvy at 165 cm, and she is the dinner one. She does not believe in a rushed second course and will happily choose the wine. Her evenings run out of Fredrick's on Shoppenhangers Road in Maidenhead.
Cindy is the wavy blonde, blue eyed and slim at 168 cm, and she wants a table with water in front of it. She drives out from Chelsea and asks for a little notice because she would rather arrive early than apologise. Nancy is golden blonde and blue eyed, curvy at 170 cm, and she is at her best with the Thames going past, which in her case means an hour at Boulters Lock before anybody sits down.
Matching a shade to the evening
A dinner that is meant to last four hours is Thea's, without much argument. A riverside table on a warm evening is Cindy's, and an afternoon that turns into a night by the water is Nancy's. Anything with a flight attached to it goes to Nora, who keeps three hours as her shortest airport booking because the travel sits inside the number.
Side by side
Height separates them less than you might expect. Thea is 165 cm, Nora 166, Cindy 168 and Nancy 170, so nobody on this list towers and nobody disappears in a crowded bar. The eyes are where they differ: Cindy and Nancy blue, Nora hazel, Thea green, which across a candlelit table is the detail people mention afterwards.
If the choice is between the two Maidenhead names, Thea is the indoor one and the menu, Nancy the river and the walk beforehand. Between Nora and Cindy it is a terminal or a Windsor riverside table, and there is rarely any doubt about which of those you have.
Where these four cross other lists
Blonde hair runs across every figure on this desk. Thea and Nancy also sit on the curvaceous list, Cindy on the slim and slender one, and Nora is one of the five toned and athletic names. By age, three of the four are in the late twenties band and Nancy is in her thirties.
Two of the four are away at the moment, which is what a working diary looks like. who is on says who is back and roughly when, and the figure is the same for all of them from £250.
Flag her down
Give a town and give an hour. What comes back has a name in it, the minute she can knock and the figure for those hours, all three in the one reply.
