I picked up the van Saturday morning and drove over to Mums
around 10:30’ish. xnx 15 years later (1989)
Mum, now in her mid-60’s, decided she wanted to move down to
Cornwall to be nearer my sister and asked if I’d come over at some
time to clear the loft in preparation for the move. “They were hidden upstairs in the loft.”
“Your Dad told me the camera didn’t have any film in it.” she said between sobs. ‘No not you love; I forgot to load the camera with film.’
”I was secretly pleased, and I told your Dad ‘you had your chance, that was definitely a once in a lifetime thing.’
We expressed our undying love for each other and your Dad went and ran me a bath and made me a cup of tea.
