My older daughter will not minnd me mentioning this (there is no shame or skeetons in my cupboards) she is nearly 52.
She was 2 years old a brides maid at our Registry Office wedding in 1973.
When she was born in 1971 I was on board the ship MS Hampshire an Oil Tanker in Umm Said in the Persian Gulf for Esso Marine as Trainee PO Mechanic setting sail with a full cargo for the return trip via the Cape of Good Hope to Portsmouth (the Suez Canal was blocked with sunken ships)
Reason we were apart was her family would not allow me to see her being a lousy Catholic baa
Well a few years later when I bumped into her in the street she done a runner with me the rests history haa
In the eyes of the Catholic Church we have only been married 30 as we got a Catholic Church blessing in 1993.
But in the eyes of the law 50 years.
Boris has only been married a few years in the eyes of the Catholic Church haaa
