My Uncle Ron.

A world war 2 photo. Thirty three years ago I received a message that he had suffered a stroke, and as he lived alone, I put my life on hold and flew back to the UK to do what I could. While here, I met one of the neighbours who was helping him during recovery, and later she became my Wife; the best thing that ever happened to me.

The Severn Valley Railway is a heritage line that opened in the early 70's, I took this photo when they had a gathering in the Station car park at Bridgenorth

Nearly 50 years later a local club was asked to put on a display in that same carpark...
