“Patsy Sully and Hilary Franklin on O’Connell bridge. Hilary was 16 at the time, and Patsy was a couple of years older, probably 18/19. 1958 was the year I met Hilary, & fell head over heels for her.
I was a very grown-up 17 years old. I used to dream of marrying her and growing old together. I did, and we did. We’re 58 happy years together now, and 50 years married this year. How lucky can you get?”
(1958)
