So Peter is out and I know the letter is somewhere....but can I find it? Anyway in rummaging I am amazed at the photos and things he has kept in his work bag and his bedside table. Many photos and Jo he still has your Mum's passport!!! (should he have given it in????)
This must have been you and Dad...when??
Peter and I had been seeing each other during the summer, he was very keen to see me and when I was decorating the dining room of my house he wanted to help me. I suddenly went into a panic bout how close we were getting and how I had really made great strides in being able to do things as a single parent. The big things like taking control of finances, insurances, and finally buying quite big things alone, also being able to run a house, keep a garden under control and finally DIY all on my one!
So one day I wrote this ;letter which he still keeps bless him!
Well apparently the story goes, that after receiving this letter, he went down the road to his close footie friend Dave and within an hour Dave booked him a holiday in September to Austria to the village Hippach nr Mayerhoffen..
In Ocober I was missing him and contacted him to go at Oct half term for a day trip to France...the booze run. That was the real beginning of us getting together, getting married the following year (in Oct 1985) and winning over his daughter and son (hard work LOL!)....the wedding to follow tomorrow!
So tomorrow we must all expect snow? Here are the skies today. These clouds have hovered over the channel and the west all day and tonight were black!!
