Hi there
It`s our "anniversary" today, 35 years since our eyes first met on friday 1st June 1973!. 
Johnny asked me how I would like to celebrate. Of course he would be unable to make that happen (I would dearly love our permanent reunion but know I have to wait!) so he hugged me and asked me to close my eyes for a vision of a huge bouquet of red roses, I could even smell them!. He says there are more surprises to come. I spent part of our day in his home town on a driving lesson... driving over the very same roads he had done in life and following the same route he took his test on as it`s still the same route now, my instructor wants me to learn the route!
I remember that day, we were in camper vans and my family were on the way home from a few days away in the country, it was school half term holiday and dad had a few days off with us for a change!. There was me, my parents, my brothers, my grandmother, the dog and the budgie!. Johnny was on his way to a fight, his parents and dog were with him. We had parked next to each other in the car park of a natural beauty spot in the English countryside in the middle of nowhere, the dogs played together, our fathers were talking about the campers & boxing and our mothers were talking about the dogs, the weather and us "children". Johnny was standing in the door of his camper looking at me, I was sitting on a boulder watching the dogs playing. I felt him looking at me and so I looked at him, that was the moment our eyes met and we symbolically swapped hearts, he took mine and I took his!. It was love at first sight, if only we weren`t so young and so shy!... that was just the first of several chance encounters in incredibly unlikely places to meet!. (Others were at an Osmonds concert in London, we crossed paths a few times when I was walking or riding in Wales and he was out running, I was tricked into going into his shop once and nearly fainted in shock/nerves, and I saw him a few times out running or training in the mountains when I was there with friends... I don`t know if he saw me, but what are the odds on those chance encounters?, especially as he lived in Wales and I lived in England yet we crossed paths a few times in each other`s country!)
I have a photo of my parents in a frame which was taken that week. I remembered the place we used to get our films developed used to stamp the developing date on the back. I looked at it and it is stamped 09/06/73!. (9th June 1973, here in UK we do the date day/month/year)... I wasn`t doubting, it`s just great validation... we usually finished films off and took them for developing as soon as we could, in those days it took about a week!
Just had to share!
