Not sure if you remember me, but it must have been about 1984 when we met. Hugh, Helen & Jarrod we’re living in Canewdon then. I was working at Southend airport and I’d not long returned from Avignon, where Huw & Helen had visited us for a short while.
I believe, when we met, that Hugh was away, flying - maybe on a contract in North Africa. Helen had employed a Spanish nanny to help look after Jarrod, whilst she continued her nursing job and successfully matched me with Marta, the nanny. We were a couple for some time, before Marta returned to Spain. There was another Spanish girl there too, Isabel - I remember, when you were staying in Canewdon, you would always ask her, “Isabel necessary on a bicycle?”
Those were happy days.
