T his year it is 55 years together but in the beginning due to me opening my mouth just to change feet it could never have happened. It was eyes across the room at a Village dance you could say plucking up courage I made a date with her in two days time so far so good!!! Next day talking to my friend telling him about the much looked forward date, he said Ernie what Planet are you on you have to go bell ringing tomorrow night and you can not miss that. He was the bell captain and his word was final. Next day I waited for her leaving work and explained my predicament, her reply "that is ok I will come with you". As good as her word she turned up and sat for two hours in a thirteenth centaury windy and cold church bell tower for nearly two hours watching five other people ringing bells, watching a car rust would probably have been more entertaining. Though a visit to the village pub afterwards was a very good move

Campanology and a cold bell tower in this place makes a life time partnership OH! Plus two sons plus the grandchildren.

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
