Shortly after getting back from the Italy trip, Lyn and Raymer had some bad news and had to quickly scamper back to Oz, where their father was very ill (and subsequently died).
This time it was off to Heathrow - only 5 or 10 miles away to see them off..
The last I was ever to see of them.... Lyn visited my
mum (I think a couple of times in Denham) - but I was either in South Africa
or.....?? Sorry to have missed you Lyn!!
Their plane pulling out... in those days Heathrow was
not so busy - that you lost sight of friends/relatives at Departure gates.
And off they go..... good trip...
Shortly thereafter Dorothy and Paul were to get married - but before all that they had to buy/find a house. They chose that little-known backwater - Fleet in Hampshire.
Goodness how they knew that this would turn into a
house - but they paid their money and hoped.. Behind the photographer (me) is a
canal embankment (the end of their back garden) - all the mud and muck is to
become their back-garden whilst the brick wall just to the left of centre will
(I think) be their Kitchen, a little to the right is the big windows of their
lounge, and to the right of that is - next door neighbours.
The mad idiots couldn't hang around waiting for a house to be built - so went off trying to get lost again...
this time we went to the coast - Hayling island...
from the left - Wendy, Paul, Dorothy.
