8th October 1962  We got a telegram to say that Mum and Dad were coming back to Chelmsford, due to Mum's mental illness.  I went to the Isle of Wight to help them return, and drove us all in their car.  I remember all was well until we got home, and then we had a flat tyre!  I'm sure the angels were watching over us!  But it was a very stressful time.

Until then, they were living in a very remote cottage, but subsequently moved to a flat in Ryde.

I guess we visited them sometime in 1962, and so did Joyce's parents, as shown by these photographs.

Here is a photo at the flat in Ryde (not very clear!)
