Kit Thompson

Probably been married 42 years. We just went off, left a note for my secretary on the desk saying ‘just going off to get married’. Lunchtime, well the Registry office was only 100 yards away.

It was when I was at a photographic company on cruise ships for passengers to have their photos taken, so a lot of travelling involved. I started off being a photographer, I ended up being an IT manager at Bradwell Power Station, so a bit of a difference.

We always had great holidays. We had very well-travelled children, even though the younger one would say ‘why can’t we go camping like our friends, why do we have to go on a cruise ship?’ We have two girls, four grandchildren, it is perfect. 

Life is short, make the most of it. We’re born, we live, we die. I’m here to enjoy myself.
