On this day 14 years ago my wife Toyah acquired a husband. I have written little in this Diary of the Little Horse since I've been in Nashville. This is because of the depth of loss I am experiencing at being away from her for so much during recent months. And this week I am missing our two birthdays & wedding anniversary. Ouch.
At 06.15 on this day 54 years ago, in Bear Cross Nursing Home (midway between Wimborne Minster and Bournemouth), my parents Arthur and Edie acquired a son; and my sister Patricia acquired a brother who was one year, one month, two days, twelve and a half hours younger than herself.
I've stayed up to telephone her in Glasgow and thank her for marrying me. In return Toyah wished me a happy birthday. Now, a happy boy, I can go to bed.

Also on this day 14 years ago completion of the purchase of Red Lion House in Cranborne, Dorset, went through. Toyah & I were married in Witchampton Church during the afternoon; during the morning I went out to look around the base of Guitar Craft activities in England for the next 3 years.
