Plus she sold his merchandise in the foyer at all his shows for years on end!<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comments too Katrina. Absolutely nothing happened with plethora of 55 year olds beyond coffee and cake on a weekend afternoon in various town cafes. I would always meet them on neutral territory in the daylight and at a time when I could reasonably get away after an hour or two because I had something else in the evening!

One of a kind and there will never be another.<br /><br />And here I was thinking he had married his long-term partner for romantic reasons. Of course you are right, it was probably to make the tax man wait for a while yet.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.com
