Storm in a teacup: memoirs of a tea lady. Chapter 16

Storm in a teacup: memoirs of a tea lady.  Chapter 16




It was on a beautiful spring day, when there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the air was filled with birdsong that Teddy and I got married.  However it was an effort to get Teddy — still in his all-body plaster cast —into the church. But with the help of six burly men and a crane, it was done, and when the minister pronounced us man and wife we believed ourselves to be the happiest couple in the world.
