                                                    MY BLAKE FAMILY

             MELVYN JOHN BLAKE, Married to SHIRLEY BLAKE /NEE DASH .

 

I married my wife 1'st July 1968, I had not long been discharged from the Army, I had a medical discharge which meant I was entitled to compensation.

I asked my future bride what she would prefer, a white wedding, or new furniture for the house, she chose the Furniture .

We were married at Sturminster Newton, Dorset, they called it a registry office , but standing there, I can assure you it was anything but, it was the law courts, we stood before the judges bench, feeling like prisoners before the dock, we were both visibly shaking, saying our vowels and generally looking quite sick, when it was finished we were both relieved , we could not get out of there fast enough.

Our first child was a girl, we had 5 children.

I remarried my wife shirley on the first 25 years of our marriage, we had our rings blessed at Sherborne Abbey, Dorset,and it is my intent to renew our vowels at 50 years , if she will still have me ,! (5 YEARS TO GO !! )

I am now 67 years old, and things are starting to get a bit shaky, you know ?, take the pills and get on with it .
