I met her and didn't notice her, I was talking to her sister. Then I got a card and didn't realise it was from her, so I ignored it. (it was too oblique..you know the one..women think their signal is obvious and we men don't see it at all). So she wrote later to apologise and then I twigged who it was and invited her to come and stay for a weekend...guest room of course. I was a single parent at the time. I met her at the railway station in my one and only suit (to make a good impression you understand, haven't worn a suit since) Everybody went past me and there she was walking towards me dressed in her very best "I'm meeting a folkie" clothes. Shawl, jeans and trainers.
I looked and thought "Oh my God, she's just.....beautiful"
Took her for a meal at a local country restaurant and knew before the main course that this was it. That was 20 years ago.
It's still it.
