Retirement in Weston-super-Mare
Willie retired after nine years in Tiverton. He was not strong enough to go on, and we felt it best to retire on a pension of £200. With some difficulty we had managed to save in all the 40 years of our married life.
Words from the heart
My dear children, a little saved each year mounts up, and your dear father foresaw that unless we could do this, and without insurance to help, I should be left in poverty; and so we helped each other, and yet educated our five children to the best of our ability. God knows how many mistakes we made, but He overrules our mistakes and brings us safely through. Our daily prayers were for our dear ones, that all should be saved and that we might meet again in the next existence.
For about three years we were in Weston super Mare and were happy in our own house. but my dear one would work, and it was bad for his heart. At last he gave up, was in bed for six weeks and then got better, but never did any more work.
[Martin was married to Emily Wynne in Warsaw, 17 April 1936.]
