Unusually for a young teenage boy, I hoped to be a professional dancer, as in Latin & Ballroom. Very few ever make a good living at it, but it didn't stop my dance partner and I practising every hour that we could spare. When I turned twenty I had the opportunity for higher education, my degree got me into company management. My dance partner went on to become a paramedic in the ambulance service, and......................she became my wife. We still dance, although the aches and pains of old age restrict what we can do, but who cares, my young teenage dance partner and I will celebrate fifty-five years of marriage this year, probably on the dance floor.
