At 18 years old I was called to service, the R.E.M.E where I learned the skill of enginering. I loved it, those were some of my fondest memories and I always tell my most remembered memories from those days. 
After my service ended I continued with my skills, working alongside my father in the building trade and then transfered into electrics - I met Sylvia during this time when she was in a spot of trouble - she had cut her finger and needed a plaster. 
Love blossomed and I never looked back, I grew into a responsible man. We bought our first house on a new block in Essex - we made 6 The Acres our home.
