At the age of 27, Jamie Bennett saw his mother for the first time since his birth after being adopted.
They arranged to meet halfway in a pub and he spent all morning worrying about how it would play out.
Despite the table being booked for 1pm, wracked with nerves, he awoke at 4.30 in the morning to choose his outfit and get ready. He even smoked his cigarettes using a pair of BBQ tongs for fear his mum would be disappointed if she could smell smoke on him.
