Later when the doorbell rang and it was the postman, it still wasn’t the books from Amazon but flowers from Jersey. From my Mum and Dad. They are on holiday there at the moment.

My Dad is 89 and my Mum is 86 and they will have been married 60 years on the 2nd of November 2006. They met in Germany at the end of the second world war.

I love this photo is of my parents walking together in the spring of this year.
