I was nine or ten years old when Mary Hopkins was on the radio. Her voice instantly transports me to a better time.

From a time when people were satisfied with simple things, and we got joy from listening to lovely music like this, how I miss those times.

It was 1978, I was 19. I was in my van in Wargrave, near Reading. Who do I spot looking for a parking space? So I smiled at her and moved out so that she could take my space. She gave me a lovely smile.
