Chapter 3

Love of my life

I first met Rosemary in the Easter of 1957, while we were both camping with our different groups at Debden Green Camp Site in Essex, just over a mile from our Loughton home. My chat-up line was to offer to do the washing up for Rosemary and her friends. I used to joke that I have been doing it ever since, but some years ago we acquired a dishwasher!

Rosemary has been by my side on the journey for almost sixty years and I couldn’t have done the things I have without her.
