Settling down with a cup of tea, I heard the familiar voice of Colin Murray blare out from the TV.
‘Ah, just in time,’ I said to my husband, Geoffrey, 72.
Countdown was his absolute favourite programme.
He’d do all the maths in a matter of seconds and was a whizz at the words, too.
Geoffrey and I tied the knot in 2006, and have been together ever since.
We share six children, 17 grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren between us, and we’re close with them all.
One of the first things that made me fall for Geoffrey was his sense of humour.
He was always making me laugh, and was a natural born storyteller, too.
I noticed he couldn’t do the sums as quickly
Having served in the Northampton borough police force for 32 years, he certainly had a lot of tales
