Re: Looking for friendship
Hello Carol and welcome to the forum......I've got some good memories of Devon....Back in 1968 I was on holiday in Bideford and met the love of my life. We spent the whole fortnight walking along the beach, swimming and eating fine cuisine in posh restaurants, I was eighteen and she was seventeen. The holiday finally came to an end and I had the long drive back to South Yorkshire. There were no motorways in those days and it was a twelve hour drive. I returned to work as an apprentice engineer, but I pined for my lost love. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, so after two days I made the arduous drive back to Devon to run away with my sweetheart. I arrived at her house but she had already left for work and her mother invited me in, and over a hot mug of tea she explained that I should not throw my career away with this half baked idea. She suggested that after my apprenticeship was complete I should return to sweep her daughter off her feet and live happily ever after.....
Her words made sense, and without seeing my lovely Christine [that was her name] I returned home and received a good talking to off my Dad for being stupid......
We wrote to each other often, but the miles beat us in the end and Mrs Fox came along shortly after, so thinking about the saying 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' I married Mrs Fox.....But I still think about Christine and wonder what she is doing now.....Anyway, that's enough about me...
...I hope you enjoy it here on the forum.....PS:- there was some more but I'll leave it until another day....
