1979

We both had to go back to work so our honeymoon was, en route back to Deal, one night at the Bedford Arms, Woburn which didn’t have any heating oil.

It has just been reported that Spring 2013 has been the coldest since 1979 and we certainly remember how cold it was living on the sea-front in a calor-gas heated flat with loose-fitting sash-windows.
