It's 20 years since Jean and I moved to Dover and opened our Guest House - the Linden in Folkestone Road.
Seems a lifetime away - it is I guess for Jean. An awful lot of water has flowed under this particular bridge.
We both had some great times here together, probably winning the Best Guest House in Kent award in 1996 was the high-light from our business point of view - the ceremony was held at Leeds Castle; Jean was very happy for me when I was elected a Councillor too, but we just enjoyed each other's company so much.
It's doubly sad that I found out the other day that her Mum had died - in Majorca; she was almost 95 (would have been in December).
Life goes on of course, just thought I'd share that with you.

Aww Roger, what a lovely post. Your Jean was a true lady and you made a perfect couple. You had a wonderful marriage and were so obviously a couple in love. You must miss her terribly but you must also have some truly wonderful memories.
As you say, life goes on, and you are a credit to Dover and we are lucky to have you. Take care Roger xx
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

Thank you fior your kind comments.
I do miss her Jacqui, but as you say, have so many happy memories of the last 30 or so years.
Thank you Howard and Jan - Jean's Mum was a lovely old lady, but not allowed to live where she wanted to - in Dover; she spent her last few months in Majorca with her Grandaughter, who has never me advised that Elsie had died, I found out almost by accident.
Lots to do now with her house.
Thanks again.
Roger
