My Mother worked at the Dolphin Hotel where she met my Father who was decorating at the time, the result was me born in 1947, and Six more after me, a great woman my hero who died July 2013
Thank you for sharing this memory Brendan. It’s great to hear the real stories behind some of the signs. Your mother sounds like a great woman.
