We met while I was on a school trip to Stonehenge, I saw this girl who very much reminded me of the Swedish singer Marie Fredriksson from the band Roxette except this girl is way better looking :-) she was seated on a mat enjoying the sun. I told one of my mates I wished I could talk to her. Somehow it spread to the entire group I was interested in "that girl with strange dress sense" my housemaster then gave me his camera and asked me to ask her to take a picture for us. I was so so jittery but went up to her and asked "Excuse me miss, could you please help us take a picture?" She said sure, I gave her the camera and ran to stand with the group so could pose for several pictures. After that I went to her to retrieve the camera, but I first thanked her, told her my name and school I attended , she told me her name and that she had never heard of my school, then one of my mates came up took the camera from me and asked me to stand with her he would take a picture of her and me, well we took a picture while my whole class kept asking me to go closer to her, she put her arm around me and there was our first picture that we still keep. After that she took out a pen and wrote on my hand her telephone number, she told me to call her so I could give her a copy of the photo. She thought "This posh, arrogant but cute little boy" wouldn't dare call her. Needless to say I was very eager for that camera to snap 36 shots
so it could be developed.
After the film was developed my mates at the house kept bugging me to call her, I kept telling them the number was most probably fake. But 2 weeks after that trip I gave the number a call and it turned out not to be a fake number
I asked her if she could take the train to Winchester so could give her the photo and I promised to show her the cathedral as well as a special tour of my school that she never heard off
The rest is history been 21 years now
