(Continued)
So my time passed and eventually I was due for a posting, mainly because we had had another addition to the family, making four children, and I had asked about the possibility of a larger house. I was given Clare. When the time came for us to leave the Thurlows both my wife and I went with heavy hearts. We were leaving a place where for seven years we had been very happy, made plenty of friends and met some very fine people.I still return to Thurlow, mainly on Fete days when I meet many old friends ­ those still with us, and I am pleased to say I am still accepted as a "Thurlowite".
