After I left Glenn hired Gyrithe(Goo) and then married her! Late as usual they moved to Hornby, built a house and settled down.
If you want to see what happened when we hit Hornby go here.

Hornby
Jo and I had decided to move to Hornby so in 1971 we went looking for land.
First we looked at the place Joe Lowery would buy but finally bought 10 acres from John and Mary Fletcher. (I’m not going to tell you how much we paid. It’ll just make you angry)

Quitting Time
I was too busy. Working late at night. Working on weekends. Marriage beginning to unravel. Worst of all I was losing my enchantment for photography.Just about played out I told Glenn I was going to quit in a year. He made a condition that I write down everything I knew, all the techniques, of the business. And,oh yes, we were about to have a baby!
