58 Years

Today is my mum and dad's 58th wedding anniversary.

They met in Woolworth's in Leicester where my mum was working. The store was being refurbished and my dad was doing the French polishing in the refit. He asked her out on a date on numerous occasions but my mum played hard to get and didn't accept for quite some time.

They married in Leeds on the 18th of February 1956. My dad was 22 and my mum was 21.

A couple of years ago, they moved in to an apartment. Whilst having a clear out ready for the move, my mum came across her wedding album and passed it on to me. It's something I'll treasure.
