Text
I first met Hannah in a queue waiting to go into the Crumlin Picture House. She was wearing a Linfield scarf and I a Glentoran scarf. Glentoran were beaten. Because Hannah's mother died on the date arranged we had to postpone the wedding for 6 weeks. We didn't have a honeymoon. It was decided that after a tea in my mother's we would move into a wee kitchen house in Sugarfield Street we had already bought for ԣ400 the mortgage ԣ1 per week and it was furnished because the owner divorced his wife.
