And Mother and I went down to Griffin and Spaulding's and they had one wedding dress in my size.

Rice paper, that's it, yes.

I had a much better wedding cake when I married Jack Woolley.

Debussy's En Bateau, which is to remind me of one of my very earliest broadcasts about the families who worked the canal boats.

And my father was Wilfred Pickles.

And on the other boat, my very bashful boyfriend was dear old Chris Gittins, who was later Walter Gabriel in The Archers.

Yes, well, I was still living at home until a few months before he was due to come home.

Then I broke away and went up to London because I was getting a lot of work in London at that time.

And I got a home for him there.

It was one great big room.

And he used the bathroom two floors up.

That's where all the water came from in a jug, you know, and slopped back in a bucket.

Can you remember the day that you saw Roger again?
