The Bromley Boys

Last Monday, I blipped the beginning of the book I've been reading, The Bromley Boys, and mentioned my best friend Mart who was a fellow Bromley FC fan

By coincidence, Mart phoned in the week to say he was gong to be in Street this afternoon so we had our annual catch up with him and his wife Elmer over a couple of pints and a meal. Needless to say, there was some discussion of the book and reminiscences of Bromley FC as well as catching up on events from the last year.

They are still very busy running their ladies' and gents' outfitters in Babbacombe and, although we always vow to meet up more regularly and for Mart & I to get a round of golf in, somehow we never do so today we arranged to meet up in 3 weeks time when we are going to be down their way.

When I got back, I found this photo of Mart (on the left) and I when he was best man at our wedding, nearly 42 years ago. Ironically, the church was in Beckenham, rather than Bromley.
