Dear Diary – Page 81 (Early 1970’s – Brenda & Les)

We met Brenda and Les as a result of them moving into my old ‘van “Sea View*”. They were really amused at its name, given its location, and took full advantage of its possibilities when they had some visitors from the north of England. Continue reading →
