  • 1974

    My wife put on FB today, and agree.

    42 years ago today, and we haven't changed at all.
    Just a shame John,s lost a tooth and a few strands of hair. But apart from that no change.

    Aldershot Garrison Church at 15.30 hrs 1974, and never regretted a day.

    Re: 1974

    Wish it was 1974 now John. I was 22 and could leap over tall buildings. Highlight of the year was a memorable tour of Hong Kong. I was blasting out Bowie and Gary Glitter ( this was still in the days when you would still have let Gary babysit your 12 year old son and daughter, on nights when Jimmy and Rolf weren't free) where the feck did the years go? Congratulations John by the way.

    I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

              Good post John, marriage is what you make it mate. We got married in 1962 and still argue and have our differences, but I can honestly say I'd be bloody lost without her. Nice photo mate !

                            Who liked crossing the border? These daft feckers apparently. My old mate in charge; no surprises there.
