About this scrapbook page:
When I came across this old photo I was whisked back to the day I met my first love and I was wearing this dress. Nobody realised that within a month we would elope in the middle of the night into the back streets of Benghazi (Libya) and before dawn we were married by a blind old sheikh. Needless to say, I lived to regret it and we divorced some years later, but I have four great children and fourteen grandchildren as a result. I've never dared remarry. HARD LESSON LEARNED...!
