8pm the 1st January 1982 - I was sitting on a rail at Stafford's Market Square bus stop watching a young girl walk casually towards me and I thought 'wow!' (and probably a lot more unmentionable young male thoughts). She was dressed in lace up furry boots; jeans that I think she must have sewn herself into; a long, green, baggy polo neck jumper; her hands in the pockets of an open, flapping duffel coat. I was dressed as a 60's throwback beatnick/hippy type with pointy toe boots, straight leg black jeans............. because that's who I was at the time - a youth obsessed with American Blues, the 60's British Blues movement and the Blues/Rock bands spawned from that era.
On that first date we went to the 'Malt and Hops' for a drink and chatted about ourselves, blues and rock...........this new year, we spent a weekend away at The Anderson in Fortrose and celebrated 30 years of being together.
A lot has changed over the years, but the 'magic' is still there.

Happy New Year, everyone, and all the best for 2012
ps. It's not my cigarette, I'm holding it for the photographer.
Happy New Year to all. We've still got that album, too! No longer have a turntable though!
