Hi again Jimmy. Thank you for the Seasons Greetings. Yes, we can still say that, at the moment, may you and yours have a happy Christmas too.
If you worked in the garage near The Willows you probably remember the surname because my Grandfather, Sam, used to have his invalid chair serviced there. He asked me to collect it for him after school once - nearly killed myself!
My wife comes from Amble. We have been married for 53 years now. I joined the RAF in 1959 and did 26 years. We now live in Norfolk but regularly head back to Northumberland. We still tell everyone we are going back home. So, you aren't the only one who longs for the old days, and it's trappings - both the area and the people are very special.
Obviously I haven't seen your cousins for some time. The last I heard of Ronnie he was working for a brewery and like a 'House end'! Probably the quota of free beer he got every day. Great job.
Once again Happy Christmas to you all.
