Together for 60 years. Still very much in love. Mum and Dad, 1960s

Mum and dad met at the ‘dancing’ in Lanarkshire, Scotland in the mid-sixties. Despite some family objections, and mum ditching dad before an extended trip to Canada (and getting engaged to a dentist called Roy while over there), they finally made things official after bumping into each other at Glasgow’s Central Station after mum’s return from Canada (without Roy), realising that they were meant to be together. Dad had a stroke last year, but still gardens, sings in a choir and does the accounts for the local church. Mum has been battling Parkinson’s heroically for 24 years, and although it is robbing her every day of a little bit of independence, she still bakes cakes and cooks for dad. They’re awesome.
