" THE SOUND OF MUSIC"--this film has it all, the music, the actors, the scenery, the story, which is why I love it--but it also has a sentimental connection for me.
Just over 40 years ago, I was working as a Bank Supervisor, and going through a divorce-. George was in the same office as me , working as a Bank Messenger, and had recently separated from his wife. He delivered work to me, and took work from me elsewhere, and we chatted to each other--as you do--then we started going out for a Lunchtime drink--but we did not go locally, as we wanted to keep things discreet. After a few weeks, we occasionally went out for an after work drink or meal, again where we were not likely to be spotted---then we went on our first real weekend "Date"-we went to see "The Sound of Music" at the Dominion. At that time, I had 3 boyfriends--but after that date I finished with all 3.
So, we were still managing to keep things discreet--then several months later, we went on holiday to Torquay--and on our first day--one of my co-workers spotted us, on the last day of her holiday !! When we got back, everyone knew that we were an "item" as they say now.
"The Sound of Music" always remained one of our favourite films, and we watched it many times--and I still love it.
