WAITING FOR LOVE

Not long to go now - hope you are all ready for those red roses and Valentine Day cards?  This year, I was in good time to write my article for one of my favourite glossy magazines.   I chose the theme of "love" and how, if nurtured, will last a lifetime.  Here we are with page one of my feature which appears in this month's ESSEX LIFE MAGAZINE, published by Archant, a great journal to which I have contributed since the early 1990s.  Hope you enjoy my little piece of naval history!
