1976, and back in Hertfordshire again with a very good job and semi-detached suburban life beginning. Did I begin to have the confidence to wonder out loud whether that was what I really wanted? I certainly never spoke the words but became enchanted by a lovely girl called Janet at British Waterways Board.
Nothing happened really and in Full Circle it seems that I settled in to that life again, but I do now see that this set the scene for years to come and I became quietly vulnerable once again.
