In an x-ray room. He was x-raying a horse i was looking after that belonged to the queen. I was 21 and he was 28 (5days before he turned 29 though) I hate to admit it but i felt something immediatly, the moment i saw him.

Older brother bought him home on leave from army for weekend. I was 14 he was 19 (although nothing happened until I was 21 at brothers wedding). Found out since he only used to come to ours on leave because he fancied my Mum. He can still recall what she was wearing at brothers wedding but has no idea what i was wearing. 17 years later think he still has a thing for my Mum

He came to help the neighbouring farmer with some cattle and I saw him from the upstairs window in the barns at the back.

At a party.

By the kettle.

For a job, he told me he was on the radio.

I thought he was some local, sleb DJ.

Turns out, he was Mr AA Roadwatch announcer.

Tsk!

Visiting an Australian friend in Oxford and she told me she lived with a very boring bloke (rented our now dining room). I saw him coming down the stairs and though hmm I'll have a bit more of that, luckily he thought the same and 10 months later I moved to the UK .
