That is the problem Meg. Knowing it so well I have no favourite places. After the changes that I have seen over the 45 years that I worked there, I could say I hate it and what it has become.
So my Favourite place is home, here. Well it is still a London postal area.

This was followed by a few years later a touring caravan. Then came a static van in St Oysth, that was followed by the holiday chalet which we had for 22 years and had to be sold last year, as it was not possible for the wifes disability to use it anymore.
She also joined me in my metal detecting hobby.
Having and bringing up our children.
She was not interested in my flying, and even got me to stop. (Grassed me up to my mum).
We shared our love of dogs. We did have cats but I became allergic to them so we could not have any more.
Now she has her TV and recorder, she has my Nintendo, she broke hers.
A few days ago I bought her an iPod so she can listen to her music.
Us a long time ago.
It sounds like you had many happy times and thank you for the photo, it is lovely.

Yes. It was taken on the pier at Southend on sea. It was Rhona's firms outing. We went by a paddle steamer from the Tower of London to Southend.
Date: summer early 60s.

Should there be National service now? Yes it would possibly give the young unemployed a skill, other than how to kill.
It would teach them discipline.
Thank you for your interesting reply.

Re: Emjay in the hot seat.

Emjay your time in the hot seat is almost over. I want to say thank you for being a brilliant participant.
One last question from me.

Do you take an interest in politics?

Thanks Carol. It was interesting, but no questions about my sex life, like the others have had.
Politics, nah. I have met a few in my cabs and it seems that a lot will tell you what you want to hear.

Re: Emjay in the hot seat.

Hi Emjay, where in St Osyth did you have your holiday homes? My parents had their caravan at The Orchards, right at the end of the road, almost. I loved going there, but as they bought it for our dog, and he was put to sleep later that year, they only kept it for another year or so.
