Married 44 years today.
We usually try to get away around this time.
Sometimes a short break to sip Champagne.
Sometimes it is missed.
This time in Greece.
The home of Apollo.

When we married I was in Engineering working at Pilkingtons Research Laboratory in Latham.
Joan was working at Pilkington Glass Head Office.
Exactly a year to the day later,
We moved out to go and work as Houseparent in a young offenders school called ‘Approved School’ in those days. The rollercoaster has continued ever since.

On days like this you reflect on the journey. We would never have expected all this. We would never have chosen all this if we had seen the roadmap ahead.
Now – I would not chosen any other.
Come on ………….. bring it on .........
