Thoughts
August 1988 Michael Jackson was in concert in Leeds, Erika drove myself Russell & Alex in her Sporty Red Alfa Romeo to a lay by near the motorway, within minutes we'd hich a ride on a coach heading to London. That was a great start to a fabulous adventure,

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
