The first time I met Nell was in 1980 (I think). She was a school friend of my cousin Dave. We queued up all night outside Trentham Gardens for tickets for Genesis, in the freezing cold, I remember Nell lent me a sleeping bag. She and their other friend Barbara, were at the front of the queue. Since then we have all been on many holidays together. We used to go on my family’s canal boat and had some brilliant times. I remember we once sailed past a field of potatos so we stopped and dug some up, Nell did it with her bare feet, she never washed them again for the rest of the holiday. There were other dodgy hygiene habits as well! We’ve all had some good times over the years and she will be very much missed. I will find some photos of those memorable holidays and post them on here.
