'The Time Goes By So Fast'
Walton, Liverpool
Grandad was a coal merchant and my dad and his brothers started out their adult lives working for him and eventually took over the business. My mum’s side of the family was really arty and creative and ballet was the love of her life. She was from Sheffield and had been a ballet dancer in her youth, even going on to teach it while she was still quite young. They were both on holiday in the Isle of Man with friends when they met and fell in love, and she eventually moved over to Liverpool when they married.
