The first day I met Carol I had an argument with her. It was instigated by me but one our group of friends look back on and laugh about including Carole herself.

We were all in rooms in the Butlins hotel and all in the same corridor. We would always be chatting in the corridor, borrowing things off each other, helping each other with our costumes. 

I was getting ready in my costume, I was going as a clown, when I heard someone in the corridor complaining. I flew to the door and opened it. It was a Butlins redcoat with a clipboard in her hand telling us to keep the noise down. I saw red and asked her if she was joking. "We are not being noisy" I said "we are just talking to our friends. Go and pick on someone who is being noisy" Barry kept telling me to come back in our room and I shrugged him off and  "no, she's having a go at us'

Why was everyone laughing? Why were they not pissed off like me? Then someone said to me "its Carole, Colins sister". I stared at this woman who i had been introduced to earlier in the afternoon but she looked completely different with her hair in bunches. I felt really foolish. As I got to know Carole I found she was such a lovely lady inside and out who adored her family and my last memory of her is at the Dymchurch club when we had Riley for the day so had took him with us. We happened to sit next to Carole and she was so welcoming and kind to Riley taking an interest in the game he was playing. We will all miss her. Fly high Carole. God Bless and Rest in Eternal Peace. ❤️🙏
