42

You can tell that neither of us likes looking in to a camera lens.  I am much happier being on the other side of the camera!  I had considered asking the waiter/ess to snap us at Cobbles & Clay where we have had a lovely celebratory lunch, but that would have been even more daunting, so here we are on our 42nd Wedding Anniversary.

A Happy Wedding Anniversary to our Jenny and Pete who also celebrate today! Love to you both xx

On a very sad note, I learned this morning that ex-colleague, sometime boss and friend Trevor has died.  I've been thinking about him throughout the day and remembering events.  At a time when things were tough at the school at which we worked, Trevor was a staunch defender of his staff.  He was a great family man and had a dry and ready wit, as you can probably tell from my link photo.  If I'd had a hard day he would quietly say, 'Don't worry we can always run away to Morecambe,' and we laughed some time later when we were on a day's training together and got lost en route somewhere in darkest Lancashire.  We saw a sign to Morecambe and, for a few moments, considered forgetting the training and following the sign.  A group of us conspired to take Trevor and Kath to Morecambe close to his retirement and had a fun day out on the beach and playing rounders in Happy Mount Park, remember JeanneB53?  Our thoughts are with Kath, his children and wider family at this time. xx
