My Dad started to get a lot of Conjuctivitis and Sinusitis though the smell of the rubber and my parents decided to buy a shop in Plymouth. June and I went on a holiday to Torquay and went to Plymouth to have a look at the shop. It was overlooking the Hoe and was really quite pleasant. I don’t know quite what happened but the sale never went though. My aunt and uncle came over from Jersey to Brighton and went to see a shop for sale at Woodbourne Avenue at Woodingdean, Nr. Brighton. My parents came down to see it and decided to buy it. It had greengrocery on one side and cakes and bread on the other. Mum organised the cake side, and Dad the Greengrocery. I was going to cycle to work but it was all up hill on the way back so decided against it. I met Eileen Hide whilst I was there and we are still friends. We used to meet in Chichester but stopped a little while ago. My parents decided it wasn’t fair to take Sandy all the way down to Brighton so we gave him to my Aunt Marjorie and Uncle Leslie in Bramhall. Sandy obviously decided that wasn’t right for him and one day he strolled in back at home in Woodford. (I think he had told another ginger cat in the area where to get a good feed!). Eventually my parents had to take Sandy with them and they got a cat basket and the vet gave him an injection to quieten him down and they set off. I gather he miowed for the last two or three hours – obviously the injection had worn off! He settled down very happily in Brighton. I stayed with the Sellars for about two months whilst Kay was at University. Unfortunately, I got proper ‘flu whilst I was with them and the surgery told me to go home to bed. Kay’s brother John kept playing The Ugly Ducking at twice the speed that nearly drove me mad, particularly as I was in bed at the time.
