Between 75 and 85 I was the Leader of a Youth Team in East London.
Tonight Bobbie and Pete Oliver popped back into our lives.
They were young volunteers who joined the team between 1977/79 and were married there. I was the man who walked down the isle with Bobbie - giving her away to Pete. They are still together.

Now they live in Perth, Australia and have been in the UK for a few weeks.
They called so me met up in Brick Lane eating great food and catching up on thirty years of separation. When we worked the streets doing detached work. When we ran a small group programme with many groups of young street kids. When we went on an adventure mini-bus trip to South of France and the Italian Riviera with difficult group of teenage boys and girls.


Great evening - memory lane
