We met, in a crowded pub in Bath almost twenty one years ago. I was carving out my first career in catering and running a busy pub, I had a sparky young team who always wanted to get the pub closed as quickly as possible to get to the clubs . They were heady days when my team of young cooks, bar staff and waiters would often work a twelve hours non-stop shift and be ready to hit the clubs for a night out when we finished work at midnight! Our average age was 23 and I never knew that one of those friends would introduce me to the love of my life.
I seem to have lost ten years of my life somewhere or maybe I've chosen to forget a lot of it but meeting Dearly Beloved truly brought me back to life.
I attribute all of my happiness, my resilience, my positivity to him. I am what I am because he has encouraged me to be all I can be. This is my forty fifth year on this planet and I've never been happier, more loved and desired and more able to face every challenge that comes my way. It's May tomorrow and we got together in May in 1996 (Remember Euro '96? We do, it's etched in our psyche) which makes this a whole month to celebrate just being us. Enjoy what must be the SOUND of '96
