“In 1942 my girl cousin and I stood for two hours in a long queue of service men outside the old Kings Theatre cinema to see ‘Holiday Inn’ when Bing Crosby first sang ‘White Xmas’. By Autumn of 1943 we were both RAF widows. But later she met and married someone else and had a son and a daughter. When sailing up the Rhine on a Botel cruise, I met charming older man whom I married 25 years after my first wedding. We had 20 happy years together. Deo Volente”
